The psalms form the largest collection of prayers in the Old Testament, but other intimate and confident prayers to God abound in the Scriptures. In the New Testament, Jesus is seen to be constantly praying to His Father, as He teaches his followers to do.
“But whenever you pray, go to your room, close the door, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees what no man sees, will repay you.” (Mt. 6:5) “In His anguish he prayed with all the greater intensity and His sweat became drops of blood falling to the ground”. (Luke 22:44)
A Prayer
My God, I adore you in all your creatures. You are the real, the sole strength that bears this mighty world. Without you, nothing would be. Nothing does subsist without you. I love you, O my God, and praise your majesty shown forth in all creation. All that I behold, O god, reveals to me the mystery of your beauty unknown to mortal eyes. I adore the splendor of your glory, the grandeur of your majesty, that outshines the noon day sun a thousand times (Father Oliver).
Throughout the Day
Let us remember that we are in the Holy Presence of God
