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.

In the season of Lent

O God,

Teach us temperance and self-control, that we may be mindful of all the Jesus endured and sacrificed for us.

Help us to maintain the acts of love you have chosen: to loosen the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens of many, and let the oppressed go free.

Amen.
