Prayer of Coventry

In 1043, Benedictine Monks established a monastery in Coventry, England.  The parishioners applied the Model (Lord's Prayer) to their daily lives.  This prayer continues to be a source of hope and worship for all God's people.  Joy and hope are found in these words.  

Hollowed be Thy Name in Industry:  God be in my hands and in my making.

Holy, holy, holy Lord God of Hosts; Heaven and earth be full of Thy glory.

Hallowed be Thy Name in the Arts: God be in my senses and in my creating.

Holy, holy, holy Lord God of Hosts; Heaven and earth be full of Thy glory.

Hallowed be Thy Name in the Home: God be in my heart and in my loving.

Holy, holy, holy  Lord God of Hosts; Heaven and earth be full of Thy glory.

Hallowed be Thy Name in Commerce:  God be at my desk and in my trading.

Holy, holy, holy Lord God of Hosts; Heaven and earth be full of Thy glory.

Hallowed be Thy Name in Suffering:  God be in my pain and in my enduring.

Holy, holy, holy Lord God of Hosts; Heaven and earth be full of Thy glory.

Hallowed be Thy Name in Government:  God be in my plans and in my deciding.

Holy, holy, holy Lord God of Hosts; Heaven and earth be full of Thy glory.

Hallowed be Thy Name in Education:  God be in my mind and in my growing.

Holy, holy, holy Lord God of Hosts; Heaven and earth be full of Thy glory.

Hallowed be Thy Name in Recreation:  God be in my limbs and in my leisure.

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY LORD GOD OF HOSTS; HEAVEN AND EARTH BE FULL OF THY GLORY.

As the prayer of Coventry celebrates trust and confidence that God is in all aspects of human life, remember to apply this plea to your daily walk with Jesus and surrender control of your thoughts and actions to Him.  He is the source of all peace, hope, and joy giving guidance and wisdom to those who seek to follow His path.  Cling tightly to the promises of God and hide in the shadow of the Almighty.  Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
