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.


A morning prayer, having woken up late

Praise 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.

About finding consolation for life's griefs

There is only one place 
where we will ever find consolation
for the grief and anguish of this world,
and that is in the loving and forgiving arms of Jesus,
our brother, our friend, our Lord and our God.

A hymn

With you beside me, always to guide me,
I will be safe, held in your hand.
In joy and sorrow, through each tomorrow,
You will be there where'er I stand.

I know it's not the greatest lyric ever, but it came into my head and I liked it.
Sorry!!


God, our Father in heaven,
you have made us from love and for love,
to be loved and to love.

Help us always
to live as you would have us live,
and to love as you would have us love.
