    Evenings with Ann S3 E14 – Prayer is a Gift

    Bible reading: Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV); Ephesians 3:20 (NIV)   Prayer: based on Teresa of Avila’s writings   Let nothing, O Lord,  disturb the silence of this night.  It is easy here by myself,                 wrapped around by your presence  to promise you the world and my whole heart,  but by tomorrow I may be a coward again,  clutching desperately to the things  that tonight have no importance.               Take pity on me,  even as I say my brave, generous prayers.  Grant that I might accomplish,  for your honour and glory,  at least some of my dreams  and overcome some of my cowardice.      For deep within my heart and soul  I desire only you, God.   References:   Chittester, J. 2009.

When you meet God in prayer, it can change you. It brings you under Christ’s influence so he may think his thoughts in your mind and do his work through your hands.                                                                                                                                                                                                       Full Description   Bible reading: Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV); Ephesians 3:20 (NIV)   Prayer: By Richard Chilson, based on Teresa of Avila’s writings   Let nothing, O Lord,  disturb the silence of this night.  It is easy here by myself,                 wrapped around by your presence  to promise you the world and my whole heart,  but by tomorrow I may be a coward again,  clutching desperately to the things  that tonight have no importance.               Take pity on me,  even as I say my brave, generous prayers.  Grant that I might accomplish,  for your honour and glory,  at least some of my dreams  and overcome some of my cowardice.      For deep within my heart and soul  I desire only you, God.   References: Chilson, R. 2008.

    Evenings with Ann S3 E11 – Praying for Others

    Bible reading: John 17 (NIV)   Prayer of Affirmation, by Studdert Kennedy In all these things we can be more than conquerors through Him Who loves us, because through prayer He can pour into us the gift of the splendid, [unbroken and unstained] spirit. And it does not end there, for having poured it into us, He can, through our prayers for others, pour it through us into them. The splendid spirit can run through the people who really pray, like a stream of living fire, out into the world of men and women who need just that, and only that, for with that comes all that’s best worth having in this world.   References:  Kennedy, G.A.S. 1918.

    Evenings with Ann S3 E7 – Prayer and Action

    Bible readings: Mark 12:30-31 (NIV and MSG); Matthew 5:8 (MSG); Isaiah 58:6-9 (MSG) Prayer: Love Your Neighbour as You Love Yourself. Based on words by Terese D’Avila Let nothing, O Lord,  disturb the silence of this night.  Let nothing make me afraid.  Let me wake refreshed,  ready to love and care for my neighbour                                                                                                as you have loved and cared for me,  and indeed, as I love and care for myself.  For if I do not love others,  I cannot fool myself into believing that I love you.  I am, I know, as this day ends  very far from such a love. But hear my prayer.  When I see others, let me see you.  Let me show them  the same reverence and respect that I would show you.  And I will want for nothing.   References:  Kirvan, J. (Ed.). 2008, Let Nothing Disturb You: Teresa of Avila, p. 30. Ave Maria Press: Notre Dame, Indiana.  Muggeridge, M. 1971, Something Beautiful for God: Mother Teresa of Calcutta.
