Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you and bring to your mind what you should include or change. Pause each time you see the three dots … ellipsis and wait for God to move in your prayer. Take your time as you pray and if you are struggling remember to reason with God (Isaiah 1:18) and He will help you figure out what is hindering your prayer. If you have trouble being quite at the listening part, try to just quietly focus on a picture of Jesus or what it feels like to be in his presence.
This Page also includes two Videos below that can be used instead of the written Guideline Prayer. One Video is to grow in Christ. The second Video is to come boldly to the Holy Father and honestly pray about your relationship.
Begin your prayer by first focusing on God…
Holy Father of Love, Jesus, My Lord and My Savior, sanctify me in Your love through Your Holy Spirit. Cover me like a warm blanket and envelop me like a butterfly’s chrysalis by the power of Your Holy Spirit so I can relax within You. Your perfect love comforts me and casts out all fear, because You dwell within me (John 4:17-21). I hunger for an abundant life in You, Jesus (John 10:10). I choose to live my life in Christ as Christ lives in me (Gal 2:20). Thank You, Jesus, for putting these desires to know You better and love You more in my heart. I know You love me and have my best interest at heart. I come to You now quietly to listen and learn…
I know You desire to cultivate peace and love in my heart. Please help me understand what that truly means. Let all of this be to the glory and honor of our God of Hope, Mercy and Grace. Amen
