To Pray




Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4: 5-7

Tell The Lord the names of thy kindred and thy friends; and at the mention of each name add what thou wouldst have God do for them. Ask much fervently; the generous hearts that forget themselves for others are very dear unto Our Lord.

Tell Our Father in Heaven of the poor thou wouldst succor, the sick thou hast seen suffering, the sinful thou wouldst reclaim, the estranged thou wouldst receive to thy heart again.

Pray fervently for all mankind.

Remind Jesus of His promise to hear all prayers that proceed from the heart; and the prayer offered for one who loves us, and is dear to us, is sure to be heartfelt and fervent.
