This is the first in an occasional series seeking to learn from the prayers of others.

I hope to include prayers from church fathers, puritans, reformers, contemporary theologians and pastors.   I will also periodically include key prayers from Scripture.

This first prayer is one I have prayed for many years. I don’t remember where I first hear it, but my notes credited it to Billy Graham, though I haven’t been able to verify it.

Keep me faithful to Your Word
Keep me faithful to my wife
Keep me from pride
Keep me from greed
Take me home before I damage You Name.
