It Would Be Easier to Pray if I Were Clear 
A prayer by Ted Loder
(from his book of prayers called Guerrillas of Grace)

This is my prayer on behalf pastors who practice regular sabbath rest in the face of competing tensions of ministry busyness and unending needs.

by Dusty Johnson

For me, the calling of leadership in God’s Kingdom can often feel solitary. Yet, within that solitude, I sense the heart of God—the tender ache of
“Gethsemane Jesus”—woven through this prayer.

Beautiful. Complicated. Surrendered.

“…O God, gather me to be with you as you are with me.
Keep me in touch with myself…”

by Ted Loder

“…Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise…”

“Give me the courage to live! Really live—not merely exist…”

A prayer by Howard Thurman

“Welcome, welcome, welcome.

I welcome everything that comes to me in this moment…”

by Mary Mrozowski

“O God, I Need Thee. I need thy sense of time…”

by Howard Thurman

“… I thank you, Lord Jesus, for being all of the things humanity despises and fears, so I can accept myself and others in you.”
