A collection of great prayers I came across:
Prayer to walk away from Sin
Dear Lord, forgive me for the sins I return to. Cleanse me with Your majestic love and grace. Reveal to me the depth of Your love, the extent of Your sacrifice, and the beauty of the mercy You grant me daily. Open my eyes to see Your love afresh and may I be empowered to walk away from sin towards Your heart. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Prayer about Jesus and the disciples on the road to Emmaus
Stay with us, Lord, for it is evening and the day is far spent. Just as the two disciples prayed on that evening in Emmaus, help me to be focused and centered on you, our Lord, my hope and my life.
When doubt and despair fill my live, stay with me, Lord.
When sadness and emptiness tempt me to believe that you are absent, fill me with your consoling presence. When selfishness prevents me from reaching out to others, teach me your art of selflessness.
Stay with me, Lord,
and help me to remember that the royal road of the Cross
is the only way for me and for the Church.
Stay with me, Lord, along the journey,
and help me to discover you each day
in the breaking and sharing of the Word and the Bread.
Stay with us, Lord, as we journey to the New Jerusalem
where you are light, peace, and endless home. AMEN.
Favourite Prayer of Blessed Mother Teresa
(Prayer by John Henry Cardinal Newman)
Dear Lord, help me to spread Thy fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul with Thy spirit and life. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of Thine. Shine through me, and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Thy presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer me but only Thee O Lord! Stay with me, and then I shall begin to shine as Thou shinest; so to shine as to be a light to others. Amen.
Prayer of St. Bernard
Come, Lord Jesus, take away scandals from your Kingdom, which is my soul, and reign there, You who alone have the right. For greediness comes to claim a throne within me; haughtiness and self-assertion would rule over me; pride would be my king; lust says "I will reign"; ambition, detraction, envy and anger struggle within me for the mastery. I resist as far as I am able; I struggle according as help is given me; I call on my Lord, Jesus; for His sake I defend myself, since I acknowledge myself as wholly His possession. He is my God, Him I proclaim my Lord; I have no other king than my Lord Jesus Christ. Come then, O Lord, and disperse these enemies by Your power, and You shall reign in me, for You are my king and my God. Amen.
Serenity Prayer
"God,
Grant me the serenity;
To accept the things I cannot change;
The courage, to change the things I can;
And the wisdom, to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world
As it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that You will make all things right
If I surrender to Your Will;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with You
Forever and ever in the next, Amen."
Lenten Prayer
"Loving god, we've come to you with contrite hearts, help us to open our hearts to renew our love for you, help us to make changes in our lives, so that others can more clearly see your presence in us. As we encounter your suffering, help us also to encounter the joy of your resurrection. We make this prayer in Jesus Holy name, Amen."
