Prayer for Those in Need
Topic: Mercy Prayer for Those in Need Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. - Psalms 61: 1-4 Christian

Prayer for Children
Topic: Children Prayer for Children Blessed God, you have created life to begin with childhood, a time of innocence, laughter, and exploration. Bless, we beseech you, the children of this world. Grant unto them the nurture they need for strong physical growth, keen minds, balanced emotions, and a holy spiritual life. Send unto them teachers to inspire an inquiring and discerning heart, to enable curiosity toward their surroundings, and a knowledge of this global village. Bless them with love, hope, and vision, and keep them ever in your unfailing compassion and protection. Amen. - Vienna Cobb Anderson Appropriate for many faiths

Prayer for Difficult Times
Topic: Despair Prayer for Difficult Times Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. I have sworn, and have confirmed it, to observe Thy righteous ordinances. I am afflicted very much; quicken me, O HaShem, according unto Thy word. Accept, I beseech Thee, the freewill-offerings of my mouth, O HaShem, and teach me Thine ordinances. My soul is continually in my hand; yet have I not forgotten Thy law. The wicked have laid a snare for me; yet went I not astray from Thy precepts. Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever; for they are the rejoicing of my heart. I have inclined my heart to perform Thy statutes, for ever, at every step. - Psalms 119: 105-112 Jewish

Teach Me to Pray
Topic: Faith Teach Me to Pray My Lord, I know not what I ought to ask of Thee. Thou and Thou alone knowest my needs. Thou lovest me more than I am able to love Thee. O Father, grant unto me, Thy servant, all which I cannot ask. For a cross I dare not ask, nor for consolation; I dare only to stand in Thy presence. My heart is open to Thee. Thou seest my needs of which I myself am unaware. Behold and lift me up! In Thy presence I stand, awed and silenced by Thy will and Thy judgments, into which my mind cannot penetrate. To Thee I offer myself as a sacrifice. No other desire is mine but to fulfill Thy will. Teach me how to pray. Do Thyself pray within me. Amen. - St. Philaret of Moscow Eastern Orthodox

Comfort the Grieving
Topic: Death/Mourning Comfort the Grieving Father, I pray for (name one or more) and others in my circle of family and friends who are grieving... They're hurting for many reasons, and I ask You to help them through this season of loss. I reach out to You, the Father of compassion and the Source of every comfort, asking You to touch them with Your unfailing love and kindness. Be their God who comforts them as they're going through their struggles, and bring them through the tough things ahead. Come alongside them in their pain, and strengthen them so they'll one day be able to help others who face the same struggles. (2 Corinthians 1:3–4; Psalm 33:22; 1 Samuel 20:14a) You're close to people whose hearts are breaking, those who are discouraged and have given up hope. May You who see their troubles and grief respond when they cry out. (Psalm 34:18; 10:14a, 17) When they're hurting, help them find their joy in You, for it's Your joy that will be their strength. Help them to trust You as their God of hope. Fill them with Your joy, peace, and hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Help them experience the love, joy, and peace that are the results of His life in them, no matter what they're going through. (Nehemiah 8:10b; Romans 15:13; Galatians 5:22) May they sense Your presence in this hour of need. In Jesus' name, Amen. - Jim & Kaye Johns source: "Prayers for the Moment: One-Minute Scripture Prayers" Copyright September 2006. Reprinted with permission of B&H Publishing Group

Love Is...
Topic: Love Love Is... Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. - Corinthians 13:4-7 Christian; appropriate for many faiths

Meditations Before Entering Mikveh
Topic: Mikveh Meditations Before Entering Mikveh Now, as I immerse myself. I begin a new cycle, a cycle of rebirth and renewal of Your world and Your people Israel. I prepare for my new life and for the sanctification of that life through the ritual of immersion. Our mothers Rebecca and Rachel were betrothed and began new lives at the gently flowing water of the well. Our mother Yocheved gave life to her child Moses in the ever-flowing waters of the Nile. Our sister Miriam danced for the saving of lives beside the overflowing water of the Sea of Reeds. Water is God's gift to living souls, to cleanse us, to purify us, to sustain and renew us. As Moses and Aaron and the priests of Israel washed with cleansing waters before attending to God's service at the altar, so I now cleanse myself -- before your altar of sanctification. I am now prepared to link my life with the life of the people of Israel, and with the God of Israel, to become a partner in sharing the joys of Jewish living, to learn and to celebrate the rhythms of a Jewish life.

Prayer to Overcome Sin
Topic: Sin Prayer to Overcome Sin O everlasting God, let the light of Thine eternity now fall upon my passing days. O holy God, let the light of thy perfect righteousness fall upon my sinful ways. O most merciful God, let the light of Thy love pierce to the most secret corners of my heart and overcome the darkness of sin within me. - John Baillie Christian
