THE 15 MOST POWERFUL PRAYERS

-

(I)

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father who art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done in earth,

as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,

and the power, and the glory, for ever.

Amen.

Matthew 6:9-13

-

(II)

Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit,

that my thoughts may all be holy.

Act in me, O Holy Spirit,

that my work too may be holy

Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit,

that I love but what is holy

Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit,

to defend all that is holy

Guide me then, O Holy Spirit,

that I always may be holy.

Amen

Mother Teresa

(III)

The Psalm of David

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:

he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the

paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of

the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for

thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they

comfort me. Thou preparest a table before

me in the presence of mine enemies: thou

anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth

over. Surely goodness and mercy shall

follow me all the days of my life: and I

will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Psalm 23

-

(IV)

Prayer of Saint Benedict

O gracious and holy Father,

Give us wisdom to perceive you,

intelligence to understand you,

diligence to seek you,

patience to wait for you,

eyes to see you,

a heart to meditate on you,

and a life to proclaim you,

through the power of the spirit

of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Saint Benedict

-

(V)

Morning Prayer

Thank you for keeping me safe through

the night, please watch over me during

the day, and keep me safe from harm.

Give me strength, O Lord,

so that I may make the right choices,

be kind and good to others.

Please keep my family and friends safe,

throughout the day and into the night,

and please let me always know you are

always with me,

guiding me and loving me.

In Jesus Christ's name, I pray

Amen.

-

(VI)

Prayer of Saint Patrick

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 where I lie, Christ where I sit,

Christ where I arise,

Christ in the heart of everyone who

thinks of me, Christ in the mouth

of everyone who speaks of me,

Christ in every eye that sees me,

Christ in every ear that hears me.

Saint Patrick

-

(VII)

The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity

To accept the things I cannot change;

Courage to change the things I can;

And wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;

Enjoying one moment at a time;

Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;

Taking, as He did, this sinful world

As it is, not as I would have it;

Trusting that He will make all things right

If I surrender to His Will;

So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,

And supremely happy with Him

Forever and ever in the next.

Reinhold Niebuhr

(VIII)

Prayers of The Early Church

Bless all who worship thee,

from the rising of the sun,

unto the going down of the same.

Of thy goodness, give us;

with thy love, inspire us;

by thy spirit, guide us;

by thy power, protect us;

in thy mercy, receive us,

now and always.

5th-century prayer

(IX)

Saint francis' Prayer

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love,

Where there is injury, pardon,

Where there is doubt, faith,

Where there is despair, hope,

Where there is darkness, light,

Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so

much seek to be consoled, as to console,

not so much to be understood, as to

understand, not so much to be loved, as

to love; for it is in giving that we receive,

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

St. Francis of Assisi

(X)

Prayer of Trust

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills.

From whence cometh my help?

My help cometh from the Lord,

who made heaven and earth.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:

he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall

neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy

shade upon thy right hand.

The sun shall not smite thee by day,

nor the moon by night.

The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil:

he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall

preserve thy going out and thy coming in

from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Psalm 121:1-8

-

11)

Soul of Christ, sanctify me.

Body of Christ, heal me.

Blood of Christ, drench me.

Water from the side of Christ, wash me.

Passion of Christ, strengthen me.

Good Jesus, hear me.

In your wounds shelter me.

From turning away keep me.

From the evil one protect me.

At the hour of my death call me.

Into your presence lead me,

to praise you with all your saints

forever and ever. Amen.

Saint Ignatius of Loyola

I do not ask to walk smooth paths

Nor bear an easy load.

The hardest peaks alone,

And transform every stumbling block

Into a steppingstone.

Gail Brook Burkett

PRAYER

Grant, we beseech You, O Lord, that the prayers of Your holy Abbot, St. Giles, may commend us unto You. May we, who have no power to help ourselves, by his advocacy, find favor in Your sight. We pray for healing for all those who struggle with disability and discomfort of any kind, as well as for the homeless, beggars, and outcasts of this world. Through the intercession of St. Giles, stretch forth Your hand and bring them the healing, peace, and joy of Your Kingdom, where the last shall be first. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
