Welcome to my blog, Paws and Pray. This is a non-denominational prayer blog, that anyone who wishes, can leave their prayers for their pets or any animals that they need prayed for.
All you have to do, is fill out the comment link and type your prayer. Then when people join in, they will be asked to pray for the pets and animals on the page and then enter there own pray request.
If you have a blessing that you would like to share, please let us know.
I hope your pets and yourself benefit from this blog. It is so nice that you are taking a few minutes of your busy day to pray for your four legged friends, the ones who fly and the ones who swim.
Dear God, you have given us care over all living things; protect and bless all animals who give us joy and companionship. Amen.
Dear God, please bless all the animals who are abandoned, lost or wounded. Please help them find shelter, food and water. Amen.

Franciscan prayer
Blessed are you, Lord God, maker of all living creatures. You called forth fish in the sea, birds in the air and animals on the land. You inspired St. Francis to call all of them his brothers and sisters. We ask you to bless this pet. By the power of your love, enable it to live according to your plan. May we always praise you for all your beauty in creation. Blessed are you, Lord our God, in all your creatures! Amen.
An Old Russian Prayer
Hear our prayer, Lord, for all animals, May they be well-fed and well-trained and happy; Protect them from hunger and fear and suffering; And, we pray, protect specially, dear Lord, The little cat who is the companion of our home. Keep her safe as she goes abroad, And bring her back to comfort us.
