On Prayer
“Pray without ceasing.”
The life of a mother is sometimes a very creative way of praying. I’m sure you will agree!
- Lord Jesus, may everything glorify You!
- Whew! thank you Lord that that glass of milk didn’t spill.
- Our Father who art in Heaven….
- How am I supposed to handle this, God?
- They’re late getting home … please protect them Jesus.
- I’m going to get my [heavenly] reward for this, right? (not sure if that is really a prayer
- Lord God, your creation is wonderful
- Thank you God for giving me this opportunity to lift someone up
- Forgive me Lord.
- Thank you Lord for forgivng me
- God, give me strength
- Jesus I love you!
- Help me keep my patience, Lord
- “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me, I once was lost…”
- Non-traditional prayer: changing a diaper, getting breakfast and lunch for a child, reading a book aloud when you’d rather be sewing
- Help me Lord to get rid of some of this junk so I can spend more time and attention on you.
- Bless us O Lord, and these thy gifts, which we are about to receive, from thy bounty through Christ our Lord. Amen.
- By observing the wonder of a child developing, and knowing it comes from God.
- By spending wholesome time with family
- By attending Holy Mass, or making a visit to the Eucharist
- By teaching a child about God
