“Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when,
whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.”

-Victor Hugo
PRAYER AT FIRST UMC -
Prayer is the way we build an awareness of God’s
presence in our lives.  It is this awareness of God’s
presence that holds us together in periods of difficulty
as well as in times of rejoicing.

If you would like share your prayer requests with us,
then together we can work with God to make love real.

All requests will be treated with greatest confidence and
love.

A Prayer When Lighting
A Candle

O Blessed Lord, accept
this burning candle as a
sign of my faith and love
for you.

Like this candle, I am ready
to be used in your service,
without asking why and to
what purpose.

Even as this candle, I wish
to stand in your presence
to be consumed in the light
and warmth of your love.

Please hear my prayer
and, if it be your will, grant
my petition.

Above all, make me loyal
and faithful to you in all
circumstances of my life.

Amen.

"I call on you, O God, for you
will answer me; give ear to me
and hear my prayer."
-Psalm 17:6
