A prayer for everyone
Forgive us, O Lord, the sins of our youth (Psalm 25:7)
and help us to remember them,
especially when tempted to point the finger at others'.

About Jesus and to Jesus
Jesus, you came among us, as one of us.
You were a baby, a toddler, a young lad, a young adult.
You learned a trade, you cared for your widowed mother.
You were a man among men.
And then, you heard the word and turned your life around.
You came among us all,
to teach us, to heal us, to set us free,
to show us the way to live, the truth of God and the life of love.
When those who hated your innocence, your authority,
your power, your gentleness, your sheer goodness,
conspired against you, to have you killed,
you suffered the pain, the insult, the inhuman cruelty,
and walked through it all with unshakeable dignity.
They could not break your spirit, your love, your forgiveness.
You came through darkness and death
to everlasting life and light.
Glory and thanks and praise be to you forever.

A prayer about what we do and what we say
Very often in life,
it's not what we do,
it's the way that we do it,
and it's not what we say,
it's the way that we say it,
that really makes a difference to others.
Help us to do and to say what we should
in the right way.

Help us to do and to say what we should
in the right way.
A morning prayer, having woken up late
Praise you, God,
Thank you, God,
Help me, God,
Sorry, God,
Love you, God.
Thank you, God,
Help me, God,
Sorry, God,
Love you, God.
Some little prayers to The Holy Trinity and to Jesus
May all glory be given to you,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit
by everyone, everywhere
in every way.
Jesus, in Holy Communion
we consume you
and are consumed by you
and into you
and are held in your heart forever.
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
let us open the doors
of our hearts and minds to you.

About 'set' prayers
'Set' prayers are like lamp posts,
to which we can cling
when the rains of life fall
and threaten to overwhelm us
and when our own words fail.
