Resilience 3 - Prayer

The Big Idea: Prayer is simply about being with God.

Psalm 46

Practicing the Way of Jesus

Pray in adoration to God and in defiance to your circumstances

Pray for fidelity, boldness, and obedience, rather than deliverance.

Pray the Rosary

The Hallow App

Pray Hail Mary’s

Our Lady of Guadalupe

Pray the Our Father

The Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:5-15)

‭

Get your Why right - Don’t be like the hypocrites

Get your Mind right - your Father sees, knows, and rewards

Get your Heart right - If you forgive, He forgives. If you don’t, He does not 

Get to work - Pray differently

Our Father - embracing the relationship

In Heaven - you are above, I am beneath

Hallowed - set apart - is your NAME (even reflecting on the names)

Come! Your Kingdom; Be Done! Your will - in our lives like it is in heaven

Daily Bread - living today with trust for tomorrow

Forgive us - as we also forgive

Lead Us - Deliver Us

Kingdom, Power, Glory

The Nighttime Shema:

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who brings sleep to my eyes, slumber to my eyelids.

May it be Your will, Lord my God and God of my ancestors, that I lie down in peace and that I arise in peace.

Let my sleep be undisturbed by troubling thoughts, bad dreams, and wicked schemes.

May I have a night of tranquil slumber.

May I awaken to the light of a new day, that my eyes may behold the splendor of Your light.

Praised are You, Lord whose glory gives light to the entire world.

The HaMotzi

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who brings forth bread from the earth.

Morning prayer: “I bow on my knees to declare I am a servant of the Most High God. I lift up my hands and pray, “Come, Holy Spirit, and fill me this day that I may glorify Jesus.”
