Barnesville First Baptist has an active prayer ministry and would like to include you and others in our prayers. Let us know those needs so we can help. PRAYER CHANGES THINGS! You may use the form below to communicate that information to us.
On Sunday morning, June 1, 2003, Pastor Garth talked about "Family Prayer". He read this prayer written by Bishop Slattery of Boston that the Bishop and his wife prayed daily.
THE COUPLE'S PRAYER
O God, our Heavenly Father, protect and bless us. Deepen and strengthen our love for each other day by day. Grant that by Your mercy neither of us ever say one unkind word to the other.
Forgive and correct our faults, and make us constantly to forgive one another should one of us unconsciously hurt the other. Make us and keep us sound and well in body, alert in mind, tender in heart, devout in spirit. O Lord, grant us each to rise to the other's best. Then we pray that You would add to our common life such virtues as only You can give. And, so, Father, consecrate our life and our love completely to Your worship, and to the service of all about us, especially those whom You have appointed us to serve, that we may always stand before You in happiness and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
