Jesus Prayer

[James A. Ferrier]

Do you use the Jesus Prayer? Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner. If so, how?

[Phil Miglioratti]

James,

I sometimes refer to it when trying to explain the gospel in it's simplicity ...

[Vicki Normoyle]

I don't use it on a daily basis, but when I do use it, I repeat it during the day, as I walk or drive, during my quiet time, when I'm cooking or cleaning or I'm at work.

[Jimmy Baker]

I have an Easter Orthodox chotki the I use to pray this prayer, also prayer beads. They keep me focused and I really think and pray about each element of this prayer. For me, this is a helpful prayer tool.

[Iewen Lee]

I indirectly use it during personal/corporate prayers. It humbles me before starting prayers. I think it’s also important not end in that note, but with thanksgiving that through humility, & repentance, we’re completely forgiven.

 

“Lord, thank you for brother James’ reminder, how much we need to recognize our propensities to sins, many & bitter ones un-confessed, and hidden. Search our heart, Lord, illuminate & expose our hidden faults, and not to be ruled by our willful sins. Gracious Father, thank You, in Jesus Christ we were cleansed by His blood, and through faith, now entering Your throne room, & prostrated, with adoration, & deep gratitude.”
