Why a site about prayer?

The purpose of this site is to encourage us to each go deeper in our prayer life. One way that we do that is by praying together. Another way we do that is by praying individually yet collectively on the same prayer themes. Our hope is that as we share prayers and reflect on them and pray over them at the same time in our individual lives, the Holy Spirit will speak to each of us and allow us to encourage and edify one another in prayer.

Abide in his love

Lord, show us your love.  Help us know with all the saints the love that passes knowledge.  Lord, show us in your own blessed life what it is to abide in your love.  And the sight will so win us that it will be impossible for us to seek, even for one single hour, any other life than the life of abiding in your magnificent love.  
-Andrew Murray, Abide in Christ

  2. Lord, show us your love. Show me your abiding love that I may follow you and be won over to love and abiding. I need your transforming love to overtake me, your healing love to undo me. I want to see you - see your love fully - so that I may receive it and pour it back out to you and others. Amen.

  3. Jesus, you always abide in your Father's love, bring me into that communion today. Could you lift the veil in my heart and help me understand the depth and height and breadth of your love a little more today? I know it is your joy to do this for me. You want me living free in your love. Father, Son, Spirit I desire to receive your magnificent love and abide in it today. Thank you, I give you all the love I have in return.

  5. Jesus, show me how you live this out. I want to see so that it becomes impossible for me to seek anything else -- so that I do nothing else but live to abide in your love. I am unable in my own strength. Only you, only you can make this happen in me.

  6. In any given moment, you're looking down on me with adoration and compassion, even when I'm ugly, unloving, doubting, or fearful. In the moment when I'm sinning, you are staring at me with love and compassion, forgiveness flowing to me that very moment. Oh such grace, oh such love. Nothing I do can mess up this love, no sin or circumstance, no problem or trial. Nothing can separate me from your love, nothing can create distance. Your love is always surrounding me, always pressing in on me. Yes, this is true. Help me to believe it, help me to live in it. I pour out all my love back to you. I forget that my love is so unequal to yours, I ditch that concern because it's never about me, your love is enough for both of us. Your love for me, my love for you is swallowed up in yours. This love is eternal and it's all that matters. Thank you, thank you, Jesus.

  8. Jesus, I wish to seek nothing else but your love. Consume me by it. Shower me with it. Help me to abide in it - minute by minute, moment by moment. None but you, Jesus.
