Say before and after praying the Jesus prayer for someone:
Merciful Lord, may Thy will be done; Thou desireth that all men come to the truth and be saved, have mercy and save Thy servant N. Receive this petition from me as a cry of love which Thou hast commanded.
- From “The Way of the Pilgrim”
By the grace of God I am a Christian man, by my actions a great sinner, and by calling a homeless wanderer of the humblest birth who roams from place to place. My worldly goods are a knapsack and some dried bread in it, and a Bible in my breast pocket. And that is all.
