Written or Spontaneous Prayers?

Here is another question that I get asked with some frequency: Is it ok to use written out prayers?

My answer is a definitive Yes! While some people have a gift for being able to pray spontaneous and off the cuff,
others do not. Just because a prayer maybe written out and then read, does not make it any less meaningful or prayer-
ful. And at times, these written out prayers (either ones we write or ones that others have written) can be very mean-
ingful because of the thoughtfulness that went into the crafting of the prayer.

I know some seminary professors that begin each class with a prayer. Some begin with in simple off the cuff prayer,
but other are prepared with a written out prayer that they use. By writing them out, they are able to chose the words
and themes that truly connect with the material they are going to cover within that class. A couple of significant semi-
nary professors (Stanley Hauerwas and Walter Brueggemann) have even published some of the prayers that they used
in classes. I have even heard stories that other students (not in that particular class) would go to the beginning of the
class that Stanley Hauerwas was teaching just for the prayer that he offered at the beginning.

For some, when they ask this questionthe issue behind it is about the use of familiar prayers (e.g. the Lords Prayer,
the Serenity Prayer, grace at meals, bedtime prayers). And again, I say yes it is good to use these prayers. The critical
thing in prayer is what is in your heart. A written out prayer or familiar prayer can be just as effective in connecting
us to Jesus as one that is done spontaneous. For example if you use the Lords Prayerare you just saying words so
that you can check off the box that says prayed today? Or when you pray those words that Jesus taught, are you sin-
cerely wanting for Gods will to be done, asking for forgiveness, not to be lead into temptation?

Prayer is the way we communicate with God and a way that draws us closer to God. There is nothing special about
one way of praying over against another. One way does not automatically guarantee closeness with God. The issue
becomes a more personal one: what way of praying draws you closer to God? Do you feel closer to God in using
written out prayers? If so, use them. If you feel closer to God and more connected by using spontaneous prayers?
Use them. If it helps your relationship with God to use a combination, then do that.

For me, I use both. I feel comfortable in freely praying without notes, but I also like the discipline of either writing
prayers out or using ones that others have written. By using both, I feel it expands my own personal prayer life and
draws me closer to Jesus. The key is for you to find what is most helpful to you in your own spiritual pilgrimage.

Keep on praying in the new year!

Text Genesis 6:16-22; 9:8-15
Today we begin a new cycle in the Narrative Lectionary (which tells the story of God beginning in creation through the
creation of the church). This year, we begin our journey through the Bible with the story of Noah. After creation, hu-
manity disobeyed God and sin spread throughout the earth. Because of this, God destroyed the earth through a flood.
However, by grace God saved Noah and his family and established with him a covenant.

September 14
th
:
TextGenesis 12:1-9
The story of God continues with God calling Abram from his own country and asks Abram to go where God would lead
him. Through this, God creates from Abram a new nation. God makes a covenant with Abram and says that He will
make a great nation with Abram and will bless all people through Abram.

September 21

Text Genesis 39:1-23
After the story of Abraham, we move to Joseph who was sold into slavery by his brothers. The story we hear today
about Joseph is his encounter with Potiphars wife. This encounter leads to Joseph being put into prison, which unlikely
as it seems put Joseph in a position to save his family when famine strikes Josephs homeland.

Adult Sunday
School

Beginning
September 21
st


We will be reading and discussing Martin Luthers Large Cate-
chism. Most people are familiar with the Small Catechism,
which is used during confirmation; but most have not had much
exposure to this other writing of Martin Luther. While the Small
Catechism was written for parents to use to teach their chil-
dren, the Large Catechism was written for pastor to use for
teaching parents to give them a better understanding of the
parts of the Catechism. There will be copies of the specific part
of the Large Catechism that we will cover for a particular Sun-
day. These copies will be available at the Welcome Center.
You are invited to pick up copies and read them before the
class. Even if you do not come to the class, you are welcome
to pick up a copy to read at your leisure. Any questions, talk
with Pastor Steve.

STEPHEN MINISTRY:

Stephen Minister groups will meet in the adult Sun-
day School area Monday, September 22nd from

Center Volunteer Services. Plate Pals are volunteers who
give one hour per week to help with mealtime for one of the
patients at Schneck. Plate Pals help patients with cleans-

reach and at the proper temperature; all while having a
friendly conversation with a patient during mealtimes. If
youd like to volunteer to be a Plate Pal once a week or
once a month, contact Trish. St. Paul-Borchers could
choose a day or two of the week and divide it among our
volunteers! Make a personal connection and make a differ-
ence in the community!

NEW collection box for Lutheran World Relief baby
care, personal care, and school kit items is available for use
along the wall outside the kitchen. Lists of items being col-
lected are posted. Thanks to ALL who make the effort to

all over the world. We appreciate Wayne Rusts efforts in
constructing the collection box and Day Camp junior coun-
selors help with staining the box.

LWR KIT MONETARY DONATIONS If you would like to
give a monetary donation that would go directly toward the
purchase of items for kits assembled at St. Paul-Borchers,
you may do so by marking your donation for LWR kitsor
Lutheran World Relief kits. Donations marked in this
manner may then be used to purchase items for kits during
peak sale times. (Donations marked with only LWR or

tions headquarters.)

FRIENDLY CARE:
MOMS ANGELS gathered in August for its second
meeting. The group held a brief memorial service in Borch-
ers Chapel before exploring ways to reach out to newly be-
reaved parents in the community who lose a child of any
age. Attendees discussed giving the group a different name
which might be more inclusive of fathers, as well as moth-
ers, whove experienced the loss of a child. The next meet-
ing for the group will be Wednesday, September 17 at 7:00
pm. If you know of any parents in the community who
might benefit from being involved in this group, please pass
on contact information to Trish.

missionaries that the congregation sponsored for
several years as they served as ELCA Global Mis-
sion Regional Representative in South America.
In 2012, they returned to the United States in or-
der for David to study at the Lutheran Seminary in
Gettysburg. He has completed his theological
studies at the seminary and just recently complet-
ed his vicarage (internship) at Augustana Luther-
an (near the White House in D.C.) His internship
focused upon bi-lingual ministry within that con-
gregation. He is still in the candidacy process to
