Welcome to the Living Centred podcast, a podcast exploring together how to live lives which are centred on Jesus – lives that become increasingly defined and transformed by the wonder of who He is.

In this episode, guest host Alice turns the tables on Adrian as he shares about how he is seeking to live centred on Jesus in his particular context.

NOTES Adrian mentiones two set prayers that he finds helpful to pray regularly:

Compline The Lord almighty grant me a quiet night and a perfect end.

My help is in the name of the Lord who made heaven and earth.

PAUSE - A period of silence for reflection on the past day

Most merciful God, I confess to you,

before the whole company of heaven,

That I have sinned in thought, word and deed

and in what I have failed to do.

Forgive me my sins,

heal me by your Spirit

and raise me to new life in Christ.

Amen.

O God, make speed to save me.

O Lord, make haste to help me.

Glory to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit;

as it was in the beginning is now

and shall be for ever.

Amen.

Glory to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit;

as it was in the beginning is now

and shall be for ever.

Amen.

Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit.

For you have redeemed me, Lord God of truth.

I commend my spirit.

Glory to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit.

Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit.

In peace I will lie down and sleep;

for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.

Abide with me, Lord Jesus,

For the night is at hand and the day is now past.

As the night watch looks for the morning,

So do I look for you, O Christ.

Come with the dawning of the day

and make yourself known in the breaking of the bread.

The Lord bless me and my household and watch us;

the Lord make his face shine upon us and be gracious to us;

the Lord look kindly on us and give us peace.

Amen.

Prayer by St Richard of Chichester

Thanks be to thee, my Lord Jesus Christ,

for all the benefits thou hast given me,

for all the pains and insults thou hast borne for me.

O most merciful redeemer, friend and brother,

may I know thee more clearly,

love thee more dearly,

and follow thee more nearly, day by day.

Amen.
