Our Father in heaven Hallowed be Your Name ‘ELOHE TSHUAH
God my Salvation Ex. 15:2Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be Our done. On earth as it
is in Heaven.
Easter
Prayer
How often when weary
do we sigh 'The spirit is willing,
but the body is weak.'
How often when in prayer
are thoughts distracted by
sounds or circumstance,
or prayers diverted
by trivial concerns.
Baggage carried with us
rather than left at your feet.
How often do we find ourselves
apologising to you,
for our abbreviated prayer life.
And yet you draw us still
to be in your presence,
as you did the disciples at Gethsemene.
You want us to share in your life,
to play our part.
You told your disciples to watch and pray
so that they might not fall into temptation.
Do you ask the same of us
and do we also fail you,
each time we whisper
'The spirit is willing,
but the body is weak'?
Grant us the strength, Lord,
of body and of spirit,
to offer you the sacrifice
of our lives
