Prayer

“To clasp the hands in prayer is the beginning of an uprising against the disorder of the world.”

- Karl Barth

  • Midday Lord's Prayer

    Pause at midday and pray the prayer that Jesus taught us:

    Our Father in heaven,

    hallowed be your name,

    your kingdom come,

    your will be done,

    on earth as in heaven.

    Give us today our daily bread.

    Forgive us our sins

    as we forgive those who sin against us.

    Lead us not into temptation

    but deliver us from evil.

    For the kingdom, the power,

    and the glory are yours

    now and for ever.

    Amen.

  • Evening Examen

    At the end of the day, find a quiet space to reflect on the day with God.

    Invite the Holy Spirit and try using the following steps:

    1. Replay the day with God

    2. Rejoice in all the good that has happened

    3. Repent of anything that you know was not good

    4. Resolve to put new ways of life into practice tomorrow
