simple prayers
At it's heart, prayer is about conversation with God. Sometimes when we talk to friends, we have very long, in-depth discussions. Sometimes we have the simplest and shortest of chats. So it is in our relationship with God. Prayer can be just a few sentences to God, or even just a few words. When Stephen, one of the early disciples of Christ, was martyred for his faith, the bible records him uttering just five words:
"Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!" (Acts 7:59)
On this page are a number of simple prayers you can pray for healing and God's restoring touch on your life, and some short inspiring daily prayers, which cover morning times and eating. You can also use them as a starting point for writing or saying your own prayers to God.
Father in heaven,
I ask for your gentle touch upon my life
That your healing hands may hold me.
Lift me up, restore me
That I may know your hand is upon my life
I trust in you.
Amen.

Answer me, Lord, answer me, so that this people will know that you, the Lord, are God and that you are bringing them back to yourself.”

They will soar on wings like eagles;

they will walk and not be faint."
