JESUS PRAYER
In the Jesus Prayer we confess the power of Christ as our Lord and God along with our weaknesses seeking His mercy for our sinfulness. Worship with repentance like all prayer. Must be sincere with awe of God and repentant with contrite heart aware of our limitations. Means of concentration for our inner life to still and focus our attention on God.
The prayer “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me,” is an ancient Christian prayer with roots in the Old and New Testaments. In a few short phrases, it expresses the essence of Christian doctrine with its call to Jesus Christ, divine and human, who, when we ask for mercy, grants us peace.
The Jesus Prayer is a prayer in which we admit our desperate need of a Saviour. For "if we say we have no sin in us, we are deceiving ourselves and refusing to admit the truth" (1 John 1:8).
"Never cease praying." 1 Thessalonians 5:17.
