"One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, 'Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples." (Luke 11:1)
O Jesus, grant me a heart of prayer that I may pray with reverence and firm faith.
Grant me a heart of prayer that I may pray with calmness and attentiveness.
O Jesus, grant me a heart of prayer that I may pray with sincerity and hope.
Grant me a heart of prayer that I may pray with humility and love.
O Jesus, grant me a heart of prayer that I may pray in times of joy and in times of hardship and anxiety.
Grant me a heart of prayer that I may pray at all times and in every place.
O Jesus, grant me a heart of prayer, so that I may pray while I am still alive and at the hour of death.
Amen.
