Prayer
is central to all we do at Norwich Citadel; in our everyday lives and
also our corporate prayer when we come together to worship. Prayer
should always be the first resort, not the last!
|
"Don’t
worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you
need, and thank him for all he has done."
|
Weekly
Prayer Meeting
Every Wednesday morning,
members of our church get together to pray. If there
is anything that you would like us to pray for in those times, please
email it to Alison
Gibson
and we will send you an
email to inform you that we have prayed for you. |
"Prayer
is not conquering God's reluctance, but laying hold of God's
willingness."

Make Me an
Instrument of Your Peace
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith,
Where there is despair, hope,
Where there is darkness, light,
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console,
not so much to be understood as to understand,
not so much to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
it is in dying that we awake to eternal life.
St. Francis of
Assisi
Prayer for Renewal
Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in
me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not
cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from
me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your
generous Spirit.
Psalms 51: 9-12 New
King James Version.
Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
forever in the next.
Amen.
Reinhold Niebuhr
Every Minute
Through every minute of this day, be with me, Lord!
Through every day of all this week, be with me, Lord!
Through every week of all this year, be with me, Lord!
So shall the days and weeks and years be threaded on a golden cord.
And all draw on with sweet accord into thy fullness, Lord, that so,
When time is past,
By grace I may, at last,
Be with thee, Lord.
John Oxenham |
