Praying with Another’s Words

All Glorious and Powerful Father,

Thank you for the gift of prayer.  I know I always can come to you and be heard.  I love our time together.  And even when I can’t pray or don’t know what to say your Spirit carriers my heart to your loving ear.  Help me to pray more and more; I want to have a life and attitude of constant prayer.  Praying to you gives me forgiveness, joy, hope and reassurance.

I seek after you with humility and trust.  Even if you know what I will say before I pray it, you have asked me to come to you in prayer and I do so with an open heart and mind.  I want to take time to listen to you when I pray.  Give me quiet times for meditation and scripture study.

Keep me faithful through your grace until I can see and speak with you face to face!

Joining your angels, I say: “Amen!  Praise and Glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever Amen!” Revelation 7:12
