A Collection of Prayers

I have written and offered many of the following prayers in worship services throughout my years as Associate Pastor for Cornerstone, the contemporary worship community at Highland Park United Methodist Church.

Some of the prayers below are ones that others have offered at various times and places that have inspired me and said to God what I was unable to put into my own words. I offer all of them now to you and hope that through them you will find comfort, guidance, and, most of all, connection with God.

A Prayer for Christian Witness

Send us, O God, as your messengers to hearts without a home, to lives without love, to the crowds without a guide. Send us to the children whom none have blessed, to the fallen whom none have lifted, and to the bereaved whom none have comforted. Kindle your flame on the altars of our hearts, that others may be warmed thereby, and cause your light to shine in our souls, that others may see the way.

Amen.
