The Jesus Prayer

I've used a simple prayer from the early days of the church that some call The Jesus Prayer.  It is a simple prayer that helps me center my focus on Jesus in our crazy, busy, noisy world.  It goes like this:

"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have Mercy On Me, A Sinner."

No, it is not some kind of magical formula or touchy-feely mantra to repeat over and over but a way to refocus a wandering mind in prayer.

I hope that helps you as much as it has helped me to be more prayerful this year!
