Prayers of Lancelot Andrewes 51
The Psalm(s)
Glory to the Father......
The Word of God
The power of the Father guide me,
the wisdom of the Son enlighten me,
the working of the Spirit quicken me.^178Set readings
I believe that you formed me,
do not despise the work of your own hands.
You created me in your image,
preserve me, since I bear your likeness.
You have redeemed me by your blood,
do not abandon the reward of your redeeming work.
You have called me Christian after your name,
do not ignore your own title.
You made me holy by new birth,
sustain your Spirit’s work in me.
Remember your words and promises,
in which you have helped me to trust.
My soul is still thirsty for your salvation,
but I hope in your word. Amen.^179Prayer
Free prayer, or...
I pray for myself and for those dear to me......
Remember, Lord, my wider family...... and help me to speak
peaceably to them and to seek their good.^180
