Before they were anything else, the Psalms were prayers.
|
|
|
|
Prayers of fear and grief, anger and gratitude, bewilderment and joy. Prayers for danger and deliverance, for sleepless nights and mornings of praise. They gave people words to bring the whole of human life before God.
|
|
|
|
Prayers for Daily Life begins with those ancient prayers and expands them in a Psalm-like way for the realities of life today: waiting for test results, facing surgery, grieving someone we love, lying awake with worry, struggling to forgive, or simply not knowing what to pray.
|
|
|
|
Like the Psalms themselves, these prayers do not hurry toward easy answers. They make room for fear and trust, sorrow and gratitude, doubt and hope—sometimes in the very same prayer.
|
|
|
|
Each prayer begins with words from a Psalm and carries them into a particular moment of human life, giving you words when your own may be difficult to find.
|
|
|
|
Ancient prayers. Daily life. Words for the moments when you need them.
