WHY PRAY?
We pray because Jesus prayed and he taught his disciples to pray. Prayer is a form of intimacy with God which offers us an opportunity to hear him, to praise and thank him, and bring our deepest needs and desires before him. In prayer we encounter the living Spirit of God who speaks to us and works to heal us and shape us into the likeness of Christ.
Compline for Lent
Have you thought about doing something special during the season of Lent? We have a suggestion for you: try praying the brief service of Compline at the close of every day. If you are not familiar with Compline, it is a very brief service (5-10 minutes) consisting of confession, several verses from a psalm, and prayers. Toward the end of the service, time is allotted for freely offered intercessions.
The word, Compline, originally meant “complete” a fitting term, since this service is intended for use when the day is over. You can read Compline every night by yourself, with friends, with your spouse, or together with your children as a family.
Praying Compline is a great way to give over to Jesus any worries or frustrations from the day as it reminds us that God is sovereign and his loving-kindness endures forever.
