A Prayer for Saturday, March 26, 2011

“Pray Then in This Way”

On the one hand, it would be hard to call wrong any way of praying in which one honestly and openly attempts to commune with God.

On the other hand, Jesus did say that there was a way that we should pray and then he outlined it for us.

Help us, O God, to pray.

Help us, O God, to listen to what Jesus has to say about how we should pray.

Help us, O God, to be open to the spirit of what Jesus says rather than becoming slaves to some prescribed formula for prayer.

Amen.

“Pray then in this way….” (Matthew 6:9a)
