Prayer Mondays: Pseudo-Manasseh

Barring my faulty memory (and if I’m not lazy) I want to post prayers on Monday from all over Church History and then throughout the modern day, and then my own. In 2 Chronicles 33:10-13 Manasseh, captured by the Assyrians, repents before God and prays. Scripture doesn’t record the prayer but someone (likely a Christian) decided to insert a prayer that they thought would be nice to include. As such, it was quickly used in parts of the Church that had access to the Greek text. Here is the prayer of pseudo-Manasseh.

Prayer Mondays: Tobit

Barring my faulty memory (and if I’m not lazy) I want to post prayers on Monday from all over Church History and then throughout the modern day, and then my own. This one doesn’t come from history, per se, but rather from the fictional book of Tobit. It isn’t Scripture (though Rome and the East say otherwise) but it does have a really nice prayer in it that I think we can Amen (at least most of it). It comes from chapter 13.
