Prayers are meant to be recited once or twice to receive God’s blessing before a major shopping trip.   These prayers all come from the Holy Hymnal, The Holy Shopper.

First Prayer for Converts

Dear Lord,

I admit that I am a sinner. I have done many things that don’t please you. I have lived my life for myself. I am sorry and I repent. I ask you to forgive me. I believe that you died on the cross for me so that I can continue to spend in your Holy name. You did what I could not do for myself. I come to you now and ask you to take control of my life, let me spend for you on Your Holy day.   Let me show others how much I love you, by buying presents.

Help me to spend every day, in a way that pleases you. I love you, Lord, and I thank you that I may spend and celebrate Christmas to worship your Greatness!

Amen

Christian Prayer for Shopping

Blessed are the SHOPPERS,
for they shall be known as
the Children of God.
But I say to you that hear, love your clerks,
do good to those who let you butt in line,
bless those who hold open the door, and
pray for those who buy less than you.
To those that strike you on the cheek,
Strike back the same,
and from those who take away your cart,
withhold their presents.
Buy for everyone who begs from you,
and for those who take away your goods,
ask for them again.
And as you wish that others would shop for you,
Shop for them.

A Prayer You can Say for Others in their Shopping Mission

The LORD bless you and keep you;
The LORD make deals shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The LORD lift up His blessings upon you,
And let you buy

Mantras are to be repeated either silently or out loud many times.  Think solely about your shopping task at hand, take a deep breath and then repeat a mantra of your choice.  These can be performed in your car, walking down the isles of the store, while waiting for checkout or before going to sleep.  It is recommended to repeat these at least 40 times, in the same tone to fully be inspired by God. These are taken from our Holy Hymnal, The Holy Shopper.
