QUICK! LET’S PRAY!
Dr. W. E. Sangster once wrote about what he called “minute prayers.” It’s not known if by “minute” he meant “tiny” or prayers that could be prayed in 60 seconds; it probably amounts to the same thing. Prayers do not need to be lengthy. Here are some little gems of prayer that can be used at any time, anywhere:
“O Lord, let me not live to be useless.” (John Wesley)
“Protect me, my Lord; my boat is so small, and your ocean so big.” (Briton fisherman’s prayer)
“Lead kindly light, amid the encircling gloom; lead Thou me on.” (J. H. Newman)
“O God, help me to be master of myself that I may be a servant of others.” (Unknown)
What “minute prayer” could you create for God today?
O God, hear us. Amen!
This has been Rev. Jim Massey. Today we talked about short prayers, next week we will look at the text of a prayer.
