The Jesus Prayer is a simple and effective way of praying continually. Developed by the early Christian monks beginning in the third century, it has been practiced ever since. There are different forms, but the basic prayer, “Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me” can be repeated gently as we go about our daily lives. As the prayer becomes engrained as a habit, it can help us stay deeply connected to God in all times and circumstances.
