the Augustinian Prayer for lent

3/12/2018

0 Comments

 
​During this Lenten season, I offer another form of prayer to enrich your prayer life. It is called Augustinian Prayer, named after St. Augustine of the 4th century.  In this form of prayer, one uses creative imagination to enable the scriptures to speak to one's situations for today.  One imagines the scripture in such as way as if Jesus or God were speaking it directly to the reader at that moment.  

For instance, in Isaiah 43:1-5, change the words of "Jacob" and "Israel" to your name.  "But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O (your name), he who formed you, O (your name):  Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine."  A couple of other verses that work well with this form of prayer are Isaiah 54:4-14 and I Corinthians 13:4-8 (by putting your name in the place of the word "love"). 

​May your prayer time bring a strong connection between you and your Creator.
