Do you pray? Have prayers made a difference in your life?  As I have been working on a movie and book about an ancient prayer, the Jesus Prayer, I would love to hear about your experiences with prayer.

The ancient Jesus Prayer, “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner,” is the long form of “Lord Have Mercy,” which is a phrase thought (by some) to have originated with the Apostles.  Monks, nuns and members of some churches have prayer the Jesus Prayer for centuries.  Others have never heard of it.

We have a new “Mysteries of the Jesus Prayer” FaceBook online prayer group (click here) post your experiences with prayer in general, and if you use the Jesus Prayer – how you pray with it, and what happens when you pray, and if you’ve had any new experiences.
