Ever feel pre­sump­tu­ous when ask­ing God for things? I find this prayer both help­ful and appro­pri­ate: “Heav­enly Father, you have promised to hear what we ask in the Name of your Son. Accept and ful­fill my peti­tions, I pray, not as I ask in my igno­rance, nor as I deserve in my sin­ful­ness, but as you know and love me in your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” —Book of Com­mon Prayer
