My prayer

This is the section where you will write a prayer for Confirmation. You will do this in your Religion book first. Think about what you might like to pray for. Some examples could be:

• A prayer thanking those who have supported you

• Praying for the gifts of the Holy Spirit

• Praying for the fruits of the Holy Spirit

• Praying to become a better person

• Pray to become a part of ‘God’s army’ so to speak and spread the good news

• Pray that you can display the some of the fruits of the Holy Spirit – be specific

I would include in your prayer particular gifts or fruits that you are hoping to receive and how you intend to use these gifts to make a difference for others. 

An example prayer:

Dear God,

Thank you for guiding me to this point in my life and for preparing me to receive the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.

I pray that you will grant me the gifts of the Wisdom and Understanding so that I may better understand the work of God. I also pray to receive the gifts of patience, peace and gentleness so that I may treat those around me in a way that is more reflective of the life of Jesus. Let me become a servant of you Lord and do everything I can to spread the news of Jesus and the Gospel.

I pray that you will keep us all in your thoughts at this time and welcome us joyfully into your family.

I ask this through Christ our Lord

Amen.

Once you have completed your prayer show it to Miss Anderson or myself. Then you can collect the ‘good copy’ sheet and write it in there. Don’t forget to decorate your sheet and present it as best you can.

This site here can also help you construct your prayer :)

Here are some examples from 6B! :)
