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 Lenten Prayer

God, order my disordered heart.
Let me see in whoever is an enemy and stranger to me the other half of myself that I refuse to embrace.
Loving Spirit, perfect the image of your love in me every day. Create an inclusive heart within me.
Let my heart become peaceful. May I bring peace wherever I go and to whomever I encouter.

Amen.
