always more
the community i am apart of has taught me the value in spiritual disciplines. one of the tools in which to practice these is a method called fixed hour prayer. i am not, by any means, able to explain fixed hour prayer's fullness and history whilst doing it any justice. yet i know that, as i have journeyed through praying in a daily rhythm, i see the fruit of God's Spirit come alive richly in my life in a daily rhythm as well.so as my first blog entry in God knows when, i would like to share with you a portion of this morning's fixed hour prayer which also happens to be the weekly appointed prayer. you can find fixed hour prayer, as well as other spiritual discipline tools at the website: www.explorefaith.org
more blogging to come!

The Prayer Appointed for the Week
Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear than we to pray, and to give more than we either desire or deserve: Pour upon your church the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things of which our conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things for which we are not worthy to ask, except through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ our Savior; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.†
