"Teach us to pray, Lord," the request of the disciples of Jesus, is an expression of the yearning we all feel - a desire to be connected with the heart of God. We invite you to consider these the e-votional, by Dr. Lane Alderman, and these three prayer opportunities as vehicles for your conscious awareness of God's presence with you.
Time With God
(Prayer Practices)
As with any relationship, our relationship with God is nurtured by setting aside intentional Time With God.
This time is often filled with our words - words of petition, thanksgiving, confession, intercession.
It is vital for our relationship with God to take time also to listen to God, to hear God's "whispers of mercy, echoes of love."
The links below connect you with the weekly E-votional by Dr. Lane Alderman, "Time With God,"
daily scriptures with a prayer guide (5 to 15 minutes), a Table Blessing, and Intercessory Prayer Request.

Table Blessing
Expressing gratitude for the food on our tables is universal. Here is a suggested table blessing.
If you have a prayer you would like to share with others, please e-mail your suggestion to
Dr. Margaret Turney-Ayer.
All shall be well,
And all shall be well,
And all manner of thing shall be well.
Julian of Norwich, c. 1342-1416
