The Lutherans Song by Lost and Found

I realize this has an ELCA flavor...but it's great!

Praying Moms of Our Shepherd Lutheran School

Summer is basically history at our house as Alex begins school next week. I am clueless as to where summer went!

As Alex begins his second year, as a 6th grader, at Our Shepherd Lutheran School I am very excited to be leading a group of moms who will be praying throughout the school year. I've started a new blog for that group. It's called Ephesians 6:18 (http://www.prayingmomsos.blogspot.com/)

"Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints..."

What Is Prayer?

What is Prayer?

This is a short video that explains 'what is prayer?' as Lutherans understand. This is part of a 15 week adult instruction course. It's only 5 minutes long!

Prayer is talking to God with your mouth and lips or with your heart. Prayer is an opportunity for you to exercise your faith.

O LORD, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it altogether.

Psalm 139: 1-4

And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

Matthew 6:7-8
