Original Prayers

One of the trademarks of my ministry has been original spiritual input. Among other things, this has meant original prayers -- which is, more than anything, inviting a congregant to say the main prayer in Church. Not seldom, congregants welcome a little guidance. One of the ways I have approached this is to give a congregant a classic prayer, and to invite them to make it their own -- to use it as the basis for something in their own words. With this in mind, here is an example prayer by Matthew Henry, which serves as a good all-rounder. You may click on the image to enlarge.
