"A Week of Prayers: Teach Us to Pray"
Loving God, give us the gift of prayer. We want you to find us, and we want to find you. Teach us how to pray, Holy Spirit, and how not to be afraid of prayer. Give us the courage to reveal ourselves, because, Lord, you have not been afraid to reveal yourself. We need and want to expose our deepest heart to you, just as you have exposed your heart to us.
Free us from our fears. Put your arms around us and call us each by name. Call us daughter and son. Call us to yourself. Tell us it’s OK, because we’re so afraid, and we feel so bad about who we are. We long to be found out, Lord. Discover us, Lord. We want to reveal ourselves to you. And we want you to take us into your embrace. We pray together as your sons and daughters and we pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
