Ancient Prayers for Modern Saints

The Lord’s Prayer

9After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

 10Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

 11Give us this day our daily bread.

 12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

 13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.  Amen.

The Jesus Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ,

Son of God,

Have Mercy on me,

A sinner.  Amen.

 

The Jesus Prayer has been used by Christian believers for centuries as an aid to come into the presence of God.  I personally have been praying this prayer for about six months, dozens of times a day.  It has borne good fruit and I would recommend it for any believer.  The Jesus Prayer is based on the prayer of the tax collector standing in the Temple.

 13“But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’

Luke 18:13 (NIV)
