Martin Luther’s prayers emphasize the fact that the Gospel is for us.  This can be seen in a nice anthology edited by Herbert F.  Brokering, Luther’s Prayers.  Over and over again, Luther prays to God – help us, hear us, guide us, teach us, convince us, assure us, guard us, protect us, defend us, grant us, inspire us….  Over the next few weeks we will be posting some excerpts from this book.
