Everyday Prayers: A Series of Collects

A “collect” is a term often unknown to Christians today. Collects are short prayers used in the gathered church. But they can certainly have an individual devotional use as well. In many ways, we have forgotten how to pray – especially to pray with the richness and succinctness of expression of the church historical. These collects have been contributed over the years by various authors who have written for The Washington Institute or culled from the Book of Common Prayer. We pray they would be a blessing for your prayer life.
