Has the pace picked up too quickly? Then this prayer might be the one for you.
Probably the best and most important piece I'll write all day.
May we to your Messiah fly
O God of peace who freely shares,
In fretful hearts come reign;
We leave before your throne our cares,
Our hurts, our fears, our pain.
Do people have something against reading (and amening) prayers online?
God of words and revelation, may someone be blessed today by what I write or have already written. Above all, may someone be led to you and your Word as I point to you.
May I never underestimate the power of words, nor the potency of holy Scripture, to change a life and redirect a soul toward its eternal destiny. May I speak with a view to how the hearer will understand and if he will perceive in my words the Spirit of Christ.
Read my FMag editorial, "Who Are We, Really?" It will make some folk unhappy, but if I can shore up the faith of one or two, it'll be worth it.
Say amen to this short prayer, "To Touch a Soul." Might consider signing up, too (upper right column at link). Seems people aren't as interested in prayer as in other things. One man's impression, anyway. Would you agree?
(Comments are not yet functional on this service. Coming soon, we hope.)
If you ever feel discouraged, this prayer-poem is for you: "With Darkened Thoughts and Lonely Sighs." I wrote it last night and polished it up this morning. You'll note some Bible allusions in the text. Can you identify them?
Seven lines, with three and four phrases each, all supplication that begin with "Let us ..." Maybe the middle line is the main request, say? Let Us Jettison What Divides.
(The title is not saying we should jettison, or throw out, prayer, but that we're linking to a prayer with "jettison" as part of its title.)
This one I like. A lot. "The Heart Is Slow."
Hypocrites prayed long prayers to get people’s attention. They wanted to be recognized as devoted people. Christians don’t pray with this motivation. In fact, they don’t need to make lengthy prayers.

In an attempt to do a better job, we’ve changed themes, installed the Disqus comment service so you can chime in through WordPress, Facebook, or Twitter, and added a “Missing” page for those who think the sinner’s prayer is the way to go.

A new prayer-poem is out this morning on the Believing Prayer website, "When We Grow Faint and Frail." Something of a desperate appeal to God for help.
Feel free to use this and other prayers on the website in #church bulletins and newsletters, or in other ways you see fit. Check out the About page for further information.
