Brain Prayers

Brain Prayers is a graphic presentation of ten brain functions, with three page for each, creating a 30 page devotional format. On the left side is quotes and brain images, and a Bible verse, with a prayer for your brain modeling in the form of the Lord's Prayer.

So, imagine learning about this brain part of you called the amygdala. It is part of your "first responder" system, that alerts you to action. Here is a prayer:

Our Father Who Art in Heaven

I praise Your name for creating my
amygdala deep inside my brain.

Help me to understand more about it, so
that I can do more of Your will on this earth,
learning to use my emotional gatekeeper
for more joy than fear.

Forgive me for the reactions
I have that are from years of response,
for when I have been fearful
instead of looking first to You.
Help me to train my brain to notice when
my fearful reaction or anger is from habit.
Help me to see Your healing in my reactions.

For Thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory forever and ever.
Amen!

And on the rights side of the page is a prayer you can pray for someone else.
We pray for broken bones, and so what would happen if we could pray more specifically for broken brains and minds!
