Take a Moment Prayer : Week of Oct 12
(Be prepared with your prayer concerns so you can offer them in some moments of silence later in the prayer.)
O Lord, hear my prayer as I come before you now. Many things weigh heavy on my mind causing me to be anxious and to worry. I feel many things in my heart that cause sadness and concern. You know all of these things…even the ones I cannot put into words. Thank you, Compassionate and Guiding God, for receiving all my prayers for myself, loved ones and the world, that I lift to you now (moments of silence to offer your personal prayers). Thank you for listening to these prayers and the ones that I will offer throughout the day. I know I can count on you to not only hear my prayers but also…using your wisdom and timing…you will answer them. With faith for answered prayer…I offer you my praise. Amen.
