"I'll say a little prayer for you..." Know that song anybody? From My Best Friend's Wedding? Okay, nevermind. :) Thanks for stopping by at my prayer page. Here you will find prayers of my own that I'd like to share, as well as popular and other memorable prayers. I'd love to hear about your favorite or well-known prayers, so email them to me if you'd like them posted up here.
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, which art in Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done in Earth, as it is in Heaven.
Give us our daily bread,
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors,
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil,
For Thine is the kingdom,
And the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
Matthew 6:9-13
The Apostle's Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth,
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate, who was crucified,
Dead, and buried: He descended into Hell;
The third day he rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven,
And sat on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
From thence, He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Christian Church,
The communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body, and life everlasting, Amen.
Teach me, oh Lord, to follow your decrees;
Then I will keep them to the end.
Give me understanding,
And I will keep your law
And obey it with all my heart.
Direct me in the path of your commands,
For there I find delight.
Turn my heart toward your statutes
And not towards selfish gain.
Turn my eyes away from worthless things;
Preserve my life according to your word.
Psalm 119:33-37
Lord, you restored me
To health and let me live.
Surely it was for my benefit
That I suffered such anguish.
In your love you kept me
From the pit of destruction;
You have put all my sins behind your back,
For the grave can not praise you,
Death can not sing your praise;
Those who go down to the pit
Can not hope for your faithfulness.
The living, the living - they praise you
As I am doing today;
Fathers tell their children
About your faithfulness.
The Lord will save me,
And we will sing with stringed instruments
All the days of our lives
In the temple of the Lord.
Isaiah 38:16-20
