Prayer of our hands
Get into a comfortable position to pray - decide whether to sit, stand or kneel…
-
Put your hands in front of you, one on top of another, forming a cup (as if you were holding a butterfly inside).
-
Think about something that is bugging you (an anxiety, a worry, a grudge, a hatred, a distraction…) Name it specifically to yourself. Imagine that you are holding it in the cup of your hands.
-
Now hold your hands away from your body as if you are giving that thing to God.
-
Then open your hands with the palms facing downwards, and imagine that thing falling away from you onto the floor.
-
Turn your hands palm upwards and ask for the Holy Spirit to fill the void of what you have just let go. You can repeat this prayer with anything else that is getting in the way of your living or praying, and that you would like to hand over to God.
Each time you refresh this page you will find a different prayer idea.
