Household Prayers
Prayer is a spiritual exercise that helps build a personal relationship with God. It is also an opportunity to both speak with and listen to God.
Sometimes the words come naturally, sometimes they don't. For the times when they don't, you can find prayers here that you can use. They are related to our Sunday Scripture readings.
Not every prayer will resonate with every person every week. But when they do, they can help each of us build a life of meaning and purpose in relationship with God.
Week of September 23, 2018
Household Prayer: Morning
May the first words in my mouth today be the sound of the name of Jesus. Lead me to reflect on his power as I seek to live my day, honoring the One who gave me salvation and a new life. In his powerful name I pray. Amen.
Household Prayer: Evening
God, was I an agent of hope and salvation to others as you have been to me? As the day winds down, help me to think about those times during the day when I lived in your grace and the times when I failed to be salt in your world. Keep on working in my life, through the power of your Holy Spirit, so that I can become more like you want me to be. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
