The Apostles' Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended to the dead. On the third day He rose again; He ascended into heaven, He is seated at the right hand of the Father, and He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
Traditional Christian creed (ancient)
TraditionalThe Nicene Creed
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of His Father before all worlds. God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made. Who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man. And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried. And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father. And He shall come again, with glory, to judge both the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
Nicene Creed (325/381 AD)
TraditionalNow Faith Is
Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
Hebrews 11:1, 3, 6 (BSB)
BiblicalPrayer of St. Anselm
Lord, I do not seek to understand so that I may believe, but I believe so that I may understand. For this too I believe: that unless I believe, I shall not understand. I do not seek to understand Your mystery, for my mind cannot comprehend it. But I long to understand in some measure Your truth, which my heart already believes and loves. I do not seek to understand so that I may believe, but I believe so that I may understand.
St. Anselm of Canterbury, Proslogion (d. 1109)
SaintPrayer for Faith
Father in Heaven! Hold not our sins up against us but hold us up against our sins, so that the thought of You when it wakens in our soul, and each time it wakens, should not remind us of what we have committed but of what You did forgive, not of how we went astray but of how You did save us.
Søren Kierkegaard (d. 1855, public domain)
SaintPrayer for Rest in God
You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You. Grant us, Lord, to know what we ought to know, to love what we ought to love, to praise what delights You most, to value what is precious in Your sight, to hate what is offensive to You. Do not allow us to judge according to the sight of our eyes, nor to pass sentence according to the hearing of the ears of ignorant men; but to discern with a true judgment between things visible and spiritual, and above all things, always to inquire what is the good pleasure of Your will.
St. Augustine of Hippo, Confessions and other writings
SaintVindicate Me, O Lord
Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have walked with integrity, and I have trusted in the Lord without wavering. Test me, O Lord, and try me; examine my heart and mind. For Your loving devotion is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth. I wash my hands in innocence and go about Your altar, O Lord, giving voice to thanksgiving and recounting all Your wonders. I love the house where You dwell, O Lord, the place where Your glory resides.
Psalm 26:1-3, 6-8 (BSB)
BiblicalI Know That You Can Do All Things
I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted. You asked, 'Who is this who conceals My counsel without knowledge?' Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know. My ears had heard of You, but now my eyes have seen You. Therefore I retract my words, and I repent in dust and ashes.
Job 42:2-3, 5-6 (BSB)
BiblicalSolomon's Prayer at Temple Dedication
O Lord, God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven above or on earth below, keeping Your covenant of loving devotion with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts. Now, O Lord, God of Israel, please keep for Your servant David my father the promise You made to him when You said, 'You shall never fail to have a man to sit before Me on the throne of Israel, if only your sons take care to walk before Me as you have done.'
1 Kings 8:23, 25 (BSB)
BiblicalSaved by Grace Through Faith
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.
Ephesians 2:8-10 (BSB)
BiblicalRemain in Me
I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing. As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Remain in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and remain in His love. I have told you these things so that My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.
John 15:5, 9-11 (BSB)
BiblicalNow to Him Who Is Able to Do Immeasurably More

Ephesians 3:20-21 (BSB)

I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
Galatians 2:20 (BSB)
BiblicalGo and Make Disciples of All Nations
All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
Matthew 28:18-20 (BSB)
BiblicalPartakers of the Divine Nature
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness. Through these He has given us His very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
2 Peter 1:3-4 (BSB)
BiblicalPrayer of St. Bonaventure
Pierce, O most sweet Lord Jesus, my inmost soul with the most joyous and healthful wound of Your love, with true, serene, and most holy apostolic charity, that my soul may ever languish and melt with love and longing for You, that it may yearn for You and faint for Your courts, and long to be dissolved and to be with You. Grant that my soul may hunger after You, the bread of angels, the refreshment of holy souls, our daily and supersubstantial bread.
St. Bonaventure, The Tree of Life (d. 1274)
SaintSearch Me, O God
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my concerns. See if there is any offensive way in me; lead me in the way everlasting.
Psalm 139:23-24 (BSB)
BiblicalO God, You Are My God
O God, You are my God; earnestly I seek You. My soul thirsts for You; my body yearns for You in a dry and weary land without water. So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory. Because Your loving devotion is better than life, my lips will glorify You. I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands. My soul is satisfied as with rich food; with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.
Psalm 63:1-5 (BSB)
BiblicalThe King of Glory
The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof, the world, and all who dwell in it. For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters. Who may ascend the hill of the Lord? Who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear deceitfully. Lift up your heads, O gates! Be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in! Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
Psalm 24:1-4, 7-8 (BSB)
BiblicalWith You Is the Fountain of Life
Your loving devotion, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the highest mountains; Your judgments are like the deepest sea. O Lord, You preserve man and beast. How precious is Your loving devotion, O God! The children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from Your river of delights. For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.
Psalm 36:5-9 (BSB)
BiblicalI Remembered God and I Groaned
I cried out to God; I cried aloud to God to hear me. In the day of my distress I sought the Lord. At night I stretched out my hands without growing weary; my soul refused to be comforted. I remembered God and I groaned. Then I thought, 'I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High.' I will remember the works of the Lord; yes, I will remember Your wonders of old. I will reflect on all Your works and meditate on Your deeds. Your way, O God, is holy. What god is so great as our God? You are the God who works wonders; You display Your strength among the peoples.
Psalm 77:1-3, 10-14 (BSB)
BiblicalForever I Will Sing of the Loving Devotion of the Lord
Forever I will sing of the loving devotion of the Lord; with my mouth I will proclaim Your faithfulness to all generations. For I have said, 'Loving devotion is built up forever; in the heavens You establish Your faithfulness.' The heavens praise Your wonders, O Lord, Your faithfulness too, in the assembly of the holy ones. For who in the skies can compare with the Lord? Who among the heavenly beings is like the Lord? Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim You, who walk in the light of Your presence, O Lord.
Psalm 89:1-2, 5-6, 15 (BSB)
BiblicalThe Lord Reigns, He Is Robed in Majesty
The Lord reigns, He is robed in majesty; the Lord is robed, He is girded with strength. Indeed, the world is firmly established; it cannot be moved. Your throne was established long ago; You are from all eternity. The seas have lifted up, O Lord, the seas have lifted up their voice; the seas have lifted up their pounding waves. Mightier than the thunder of great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea, the Lord on high is mighty. Your testimonies are fully confirmed; holiness adorns Your house, O Lord, for all the days to come.
Psalm 93 (BSB)
BiblicalTeach Me to Do Your Will
O Lord, hear my prayer; listen to my plea for mercy. In Your faithfulness and righteousness, come to my relief. My spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed. I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I consider the work of Your hands. I spread out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a parched land. Answer me quickly, O Lord; my spirit fails. Do not hide Your face from me, or I will be like those descending to the Pit. Let the morning bring news of Your loving devotion, for I have put my trust in You. Teach me the way I should walk, for to You I lift up my soul. Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
Psalm 143:1, 4-8, 10 (BSB)
BiblicalJacob's Prayer: I Will Not Let You Go Unless You Bless Me
O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, O Lord, who said to me, 'Go back to your country and your relatives, and I will make you prosper,' I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness You have shown Your servant. With only my staff I crossed this Jordan, but now I have become two camps. Please rescue me from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am afraid he will come and attack me and the mothers with the children. I will not let You go unless You bless me.
Genesis 32:9-11, 26 (BSB)
BiblicalHe Will Sit as a Refiner
But who can endure the day of His coming, and who can stand when He appears? For He will be like a refiner's fire, like a launderer's soap. And He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver. Then they will present offerings to the Lord in righteousness.
Malachi 3:2-3 (BSB)
BiblicalWho Is a God Like You?
Who is a God like You, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance? You do not retain Your anger forever, because You delight in loving devotion. You will again have compassion on us; You will tread our sins underfoot. You will hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea. You will show faithfulness to Jacob and loving devotion to Abraham, as You swore to our fathers from the days of old.
Micah 7:18-20 (BSB)
BiblicalNothing Can Separate Us from God's Love
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:35, 37-39 (BSB)
BiblicalPrayer to Know the Love of Christ
I pray that out of the riches of His glory He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Then you, being rooted and grounded in love, will have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth of the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 3:16-19 (BSB)
BiblicalOffer Your Bodies as Living Sacrifices
Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.
Romans 12:1-2 (BSB)
BiblicalFor God So Loved the World
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
John 3:16-17 (BSB)
BiblicalThe Beatitudes
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:3-10 (BSB)
BiblicalThe Spirit Gives Life
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death. You, however, are controlled not by the flesh but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.
Romans 8:1-2, 9, 16-17 (BSB)
BiblicalAt the Name of Jesus Every Knee Shall Bow
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death, even death on a cross. Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:5-11 (BSB)
BiblicalNow to the King of the Ages
Now to the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
1 Timothy 1:17 (BSB)
BiblicalTo Him Who Is Able to Keep You from Stumbling
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you unblemished in His glorious presence, with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time, and now, and for all eternity. Amen.
Jude 24-25 (BSB)
BiblicalWorthy Are You, Our Lord and God
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come! Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things; by Your will they exist and were created.
Revelation 4:8, 11 (BSB)
BiblicalAsk and It Will Be Given to You
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
Matthew 7:7-11 (BSB)
BiblicalI Believe; Help My Unbelief!
Jesus said to him, 'If You can? All things are possible to him who believes.' Immediately the boy's father cried out, 'I believe; help my unbelief!'
Mark 9:23-24 (BSB)
BiblicalWe Have Peace with God
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
Romans 5:1-5 (BSB)
BiblicalWe Have This Treasure in Jars of Clay
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this surpassingly great power is from God and not from us. We are pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, yet our inner self is being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal glory that is far beyond comparison.
2 Corinthians 4:7-9, 16-17 (BSB)
BiblicalSoul of Christ
Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, inebriate me. Water from the side of Christ, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me. O good Jesus, hear me. Within Your wounds hide me. Separated from You, let me never be. From the evil one protect me. At the hour of my death, call me. And close to You bid me, that with Your saints I may be praising You forever and ever. Amen.
Traditional Catholic prayer (14th century)
TraditionalTantum Ergo
Down in adoration falling, this great Sacrament we hail. Over ancient forms of worship newer rites of grace prevail. Faith will tell us Christ is present when our human senses fail. To the everlasting Father and the Son who made us free, and the Spirit, God proceeding from them each eternally, be salvation, honor, blessing, might, and endless majesty. Amen.
St. Thomas Aquinas (Pange Lingua, 13th century)
TraditionalPrayer of St. Basil the Great
O God and Lord of Hosts, Creator of heaven and earth, look down upon Your servants who lift up their hands and eyes to heaven. Deliver us from every onslaught of the enemy. Grant us Your mercy. We look for help from no other source, but we hope in You alone. Guard our souls, protect our lives. Direct our intentions, sanctify our thoughts, and lead us to our perfection. Help us in our feebleness and save us from all dangers by granting us grace, mercy, and compassion for those whom You have made.
St. Basil the Great (d. 379)
Church FatherPrayer Before Holy Communion
Lord, I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed. I believe that You are truly present in this Most Holy Sacrament. I adore You with profound reverence. I ask forgiveness for my sins and the grace to receive You worthily. Grant that this Communion may bring me closer to You and to my neighbor.
Traditional prayer before Communion (based on Matthew 8:8)
TraditionalPrayer of Humble Access
We do not presume to come to this thy Table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table. But thou art the same Lord, whose property is always to have mercy: Grant us therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ, and to drink his Blood, that we may evermore dwell in Him, and He in us. Amen.
Book of Common Prayer (1662, public domain)
TraditionalWesley's Covenant Prayer
I am no longer my own, but Thine. Put me to what Thou wilt, rank me with whom Thou wilt. Put me to doing, put me to suffering. Let me be employed by Thee or laid aside for Thee, exalted for Thee or brought low for Thee. Let me be full, let me be empty. Let me have all things, let me have nothing. I freely and heartily yield all things to Thy pleasure and disposal. And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Thou art mine, and I am Thine. So be it. And the covenant which I have made on earth, let it be ratified in heaven. Amen.
John Wesley's Covenant Service (1755, public domain)
TraditionalPrayer of Clement of Rome
We beg You, Lord, to help and defend us. Deliver the oppressed, pity the insignificant, raise the fallen, show Yourself to the needy, heal the sick, bring back those of Your people who have gone astray. Feed the hungry, lift up the weak, take off the prisoners' chains. May every nation come to know that You alone are God, that Jesus Christ is Your child, that we are Your people, the sheep of Your pasture. Amen.
St. Clement of Rome (d. ~100 AD)
Church FatherLate Have I Loved You
Late have I loved You, O Beauty ever ancient, ever new, late have I loved You! You were within me, but I was outside, and it was there that I searched for You. In my unloveliness I plunged into the lovely things which You created. You were with me, but I was not with You. Created things kept me from You; yet if they had not been in You they would have not been at all. You called, You shouted, and You broke through my deafness. You flashed, You shone, and You dispelled my blindness. You breathed Your fragrance on me; I drew in breath and now I pant for You. I have tasted You, now I hunger and thirst for more. You touched me, and I burned for Your peace.
St. Augustine of Hippo, Confessions
SaintPrayer of Surrender
Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love only what is holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy. Guard me then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy.
St. Augustine of Hippo (d. 430)
