"An 'arrow prayer' is a very simple and direct petition or word of thanksgiving and praise, which may be said at any time and in any place. Texts from well-loved portions of Scripture may be selected; one may find appropriate words in some other book; or one may make them up for himself.
Typical arrow prayers would be:
- 'My God I love thee; make me love thee more.'
- 'Thank God for life and friends, for work and fun, for everything.'
- 'Help me, O Lord, to see thee and serve thee wherever I am.'
- 'May I do this work as well as I can and in a way pleasing to thee' or
- 'Help me, Lord, in talking to this person who needs my counsel' or
- 'Strengthen me to face this ordeal.'
