Daily Prayers for Moravians

Introduction

I have created this blog as a way of sharing these prayers that have become a meaningful part of my ongoing dialog with God. May these prayers bring you a greater awareness of God’s presence in your life! Use them as you wish to enrich your life, and the lives of those around you. If you use this page regularly I would appreciate hearing a comment from you. I’d like to know what I can do to make this page more useful for you.

How to use these prayers

Greetings Friends: These prayers are meant to be prayed either in community or in solitude. If done with a group this can be read as a responsive prayer with a leader reading the regular print and the rest of the group reading the bolded print. These prayers are posted at the beginning of each week and are based on the Watchword for the Week as found in the Moravian Daily Texts.
