Prayers for Stronger Faith

Don't despair if you cannot pray. Reach out to others and your church.

Not Able to Pray?

When you find you can’t pray, when the words or thoughts or feelings just won’t come, go to church. There’s a reason we’re called to praise God together in church, and you’ll feel the “we” of worship.

Praying in the darkness.

Praying for the Darkness to End

What is it about nighttime that magnifies fear? I suspect we’re vulnerable then because the devil wants us to forget that God “has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves.” (Colossians 1:13)

Give us this day our daily bread.

Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread

Give us this day our daily bread? I find myself praying it, thinking of those for whom their daily bread is not to be taken for granted. It’s not just me and mind, it’s ours.

A prayer shawl or tallit.

Cover Yourself in Prayer

Sometimes when I drape the tallit or prayer shawl over my head and shoulders and pull it close, I experience a focus and intensity in prayer that often escapes me at other times. It covers me—physically and symbolically—in prayer.


Prayers at noon.

Noonday Prayers

An unplanned noonday service in a church on Fifth Avenue in New York City, with a congregation of strangers, brings feelings of peace and unity.
