Prayers for Life

A collection of short prayers for life's most meaningful moments. Each prayer gently guides you through six stages — an opportunity to pause, ask, listen, share and reflect.

Prayer For Children

I pray for children: Bless the children under our care, who rely on us to grow and thrive. Bless the children we know by name, by face. The ones we will never know. The ones we long to hold, the ones we worry about, the ones who are gone. The children we long to have.

Prayer For Forgiveness

God of infinite love, I come to you with a heart full of humility and sorrow. You are kind and merciful, slow to anger and rich in compassion. Look on me with love as I pray for forgiveness.

Prayer for Help With Peer Pressure

I come to you asking for help. Alleviate the pressure I feel, aid me in carrying the weight of expectations and the heaviness of obligations. Grant me clarity to see what matters.

Prayer for Guidance

I ask for the grace of your peace and the gift of your wisdom for the journey ahead of me. Be my compass, God, leading me deeper into your love. I want so much to make the right decision.

Prayer for the Loss of a Loved One

Be with me, walk with me. Please stay with me, God, as I navigate this season of loss. Jesus, this loss is a wound. It is affecting me in ways that I recognize, and in ways that I do not yet know.

Prayer for Peace

God of all, grant me peace that surpasses all understanding. Even when my heart is troubled, even when I am afraid – it is to you that I cling.

Prayer for Strength

My God, I approach you for strength, not of this world but that which comes from you alone. Lord, I trust that you walk beside me; but my heart wavers.

Prayer for Healing

Lord, I am reaching out for you in the midst of my pain. Draw near to me so I can feel your healing touch. Just one touch will be enough.
