Daily Prayer

In the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.


Loving Father, I gather in Your presence.


I invite stillness into my heart.

May I breathe in Your peace and breathe out all my worries.


Holy Spirit, speak to me through this time in prayer so that I can hear God’s voice in my heart.

God of Calvary,

You carried the cross so that we did not have to. Remind me that your shoulders are wide and that because of Your love, you want to carry our problems and worries. Help me to grow in trust, and to hand it over to you.

No problem is bigger than you. Jesus, you take over.

We pray this in the name of love, Jesus Christ,

Amen
