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 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.
