A Beatitudes Prayer

07/06/2021 By Jared Dees

This prayer turns the Beatitudes into petitions to God. Ask the Lord for his blessing by praying this Beatitudes prayer together.

A Beatitudes Prayer

Dear Lord,

Make me poor in spirit, so I can receive the kingdom of heaven.

When I mourn, help me find comfort.

Make me meek, so that I may inherit the land.

Help me to hunger and thirst for righteousness, so I may be satisfied.

Make me merciful, so I may obtain your mercy.

Make me pure of heart, so I may see you.

Help me to make peace, so I may be called your child.

When I am persecuted for righteousness’ sake, show me your kingdom.

Amen.
