naturally as they would to a dear friend. At other times, though
the words just won’t come, no matter how hard they try to
pray.
So what can Christians do when they can’t pray, or when they
need a prayer for a specific occasion and don’t know where
to start? They can turn to the prayers of other believers to be
carried into God’s presence.
Prayers for Life’s Ordinary and Extraordinary Moments
is a unique collection of prayers that give readers words to pray
on those occasions when they can’t find words of their own.
The honest, heartfelt prayers, written by staff members of The
Upper Room and the General Board of Discipleship, address
such categories as
• For the People We Love
• Birthdays and Milestones
• The Cry for Justice
• Loss and Grief
• In Uncertain Times
• Asking for Healing
• Facing Our Own and
Others’ Imperfections
• Spiritual Searching
• Gratitude for Ordinary
Miracles
“Being able to pray is a privilege and a gift,” Mary Lou Redding
writes. “This collection is a gift to us for the times we need
someone to help us say what we want to say to God.”
Through this book, readers will learn how to touch the heart of
God when they aren’t able to articulate their own prayers.
