I really like the last suggested prayer. I think we are generally lacking in “praise prayers.” However, the first two prayers are quite jolting to me. I’d like to avoid that judgmental example.

Try it, Marcy, and report back to us.

I like these older lessons, too, for the most part. It may be the particular old-fashioned flavor, or it might just be that because it’s different, whatever the style, that it makes me see familiar lessons in a different way.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Thanks for this reading. I really enjoyed it. I happen to be a sucker for all things from that era (30′s and 40′s) but never imagined I could even prefer old-style gospel lessons! The Suggestive Closing Prayers are particularly interesting. Never seen such a thing as that before, but each of the prayers are really beautiful. No one prays that eloquently any more. I wonder what kind of reaction one would receive if they attempted such a prayer at the closing of a meeting today?
