Prayer for One Who Offended Me I have considered my own feelings and the circumstances by which I was offended, and it is difficult to sort out where the most guilt may rest. I do not like to feel offended and I do not like barriers between people, so I am asking your help, Lord, to bring this offense to a close in my mind and, if necessary, also in the other person. Lead me to forgiveness, understanding, acceptance, and overlooking. Lead me to be a person of peacefulness and joy. I am forgiving the person who caused my feelings of offense, and help me to do whatever may be necessary for the other person as well. I am letting go of the offense and will not let it stand in the way of any relationship. Help me to always go forward, Lord, not backward or holding on to a grudge. Amen Prayer for a Teenager I Saw When I see a teenager like I saw today, Lord, all I can think of and wish for is stability and success and joy for the future. A teenager is emerging, finding, developing, with so much future ahead. Bless that teenager with these most needful things, Lord, and help that person grow into full maturity as a successful, independent, healthy adult. And most important, keep that teen in a spiritual faith all along the way, that your will might be sought and your love might be cherished. Give that teenager a full measure of your protection and love now and through the years ahead. Amen Prayer for a Crazy Guy in the Family Lord, please protect him from his own craziness. Amen

About the Book
One of the most loving things we can do in life is to hold others up in prayer for the blessings and presence of the almighty. In a collection of nondenominational prayers, a retired pastor demonstrates to all of us that prayer works—both for the one receiving and the one praying. Retired pastor Roy Bohrer is passionate about his mission of encouraging others to consistently think about all the people they encounter on a daily basis, consider them with compassion and love, and then pray for their well-being. Within his helpful guidebook, Bohrer includes sample prayers that invite anyone to bring the power of God and good into the world, focus on the divine care of others, and ultimately replace worries about ourselves and negativity with happiness. His collection of prayers addresses all people that include family members, strangers on the street, those who serve us, medical caretakers, entertainers, people in foreign lands, and even ourselves. Prayerthink shares a collection of sample prayers that guides readers to fulfill a divine mission and pray for all people. If personal thoughts or references are added by the user, this book could become a personal prayer diary.
