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.

Advent Prayer of Joy


God of joy and exultation, 
you strengthen what is weak; 
you enrich the poor 
and give hope to those who live in fear. 
Look upon our needs this day. 
Make us grateful for the good news of salvation 
and keep us faithful in your service 
until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
who lives for ever and ever. Amen.
from The Revised Common Lectionary suggested prayers for Week 3 of Advent, Year A

    Lord thank you for giving hope to those who fear. I have lived my life in a fearful posture. Forgive me. Free me from even the tiniest fragment of fear. I long to shout your name from the rooftops and I am tired of being held back by my self created fears.. Amen

    You strengthen what is weak. You give hope to those who live in fear. Look upon my needs today and give me confidence you will meet them. You were victorious over sin and death. You are fully able. Thank you, Jesus, that You have set us free. Hallelujah! Amen.

    You are my joy. The King of my heart. You strengthen what is weak - and right now I feel like that is me. But you give me hope, and I know you will meet my needs today - although tired and weary - I can trust in you. You are good, so good. You're never gonna let me down. Amen.
