Amish Prayers

As you have loved us, Holy Father, so may we obey you out of childlike love; just as we acknowledge your fatherly love, so may we love our neighbors as ourselves.  Let us do nothing contrary to this love, and so do right by our neighbors.

We ask, holy Father, that we may enjoy in moderation all you give us to fulfill our needs and not misuse it due to extravagance or evil impulses.  give us a sensible heart, one faithful with your gifts and not overly concerned for food, drink, or earthly nourishment.  Instead, teach us to put our faith in you and to yearn for your divine help and grace.  Give us a humble, broken spirit, a penitent nature, true gentleness, and a hunger and thirst for your righteousness.  Amen.

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.  Ephesians 4:32
