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 Shabbat Prayer

O God, keep my tongue from evil, and my lips from deceitful speech. Let me know the way I should go, for to You do I lift up my soul. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

But who can see all their own failings? Rid me of faults that are hidden! Lead me in Your truth, and teach me.

You are God my Helper, and for You do I wait all the day. Open my heart to Your teaching, and I will make haste to do your commandments.

Amen.
