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.

The Praises of God and the Blessing

You are the holy Lord God
Who does wonderful things.
You are strong. You are great. You are the most high.
You are the almighty king. You holy Father,
King of heaven and earth.

You are three and one, the Lord God of gods;
You are the good, all good, the highest good,
Lord God living and true.

You are love, charity; You are wisdom, You are humility,
You are patience. You are beauty, You are meekness,
You are security, You are rest,
You are gladness and joy, You are our hope, You are justice,
You are moderation, You are all our riches to sufficiency.

You are beauty, You are meekness,
You are the protector, You are our custodian and defender,
You are strength, You are refreshment, You are our hope,
You are our faith, You are our charity,
You are all our sweetness, You are our eternal life:
Great and wonderful Lord, Almighty God, Merciful Saviour.

  5. You are love, charity; you are wisdom, you are humility, you are patience, you are beauty, you are meekness, you are strength. You are my rest.

    I thank you Jesus that you are the highest good. I think you that you were my protection. You're also my moderation. Help me when I am out of sorts. Help me to fix my eyes on Jesus. You are the creator of my faith. You also the one who will finish it. Help me to trust that you are moving even when I cannot see.

    I put my hope in you Lord. You are worthy. You are beautiful. Beautiful Jesus. Oh how I love you.

  10. Jesus, you are everything, absolutely everything. Every other thought, dream, longing, desire, passion, and goal fades to dim in the light of who you are. You are all I desire. Amen.

  11. You are security, You are rest,
    You are gladness and joy, You are our hope, You are justice

    I long to trust you. I want to. Build my trust in you as rest, security, hope, joy. Let me entrust myself to the one who judges justly, just as Jesus did. Let me not take justice into my own hands, but let me trust you there fully as well. I want to trust you with everything, Father. I know you are good. Beautiful Jesus, o how I love you.
