Sixty contemporary, comforting liturgies that break through the noise of modern life to offer time-tested wisdom for readers navigating burnout, anxiety, and other stresses.

Remind us, Jesus, that You lay sleeping in the boat, in the middle of the storm at sea. You are neither surprised nor distressed by the mounting chaos. You are not a God who panics.

In search of comfort, seekers and the faithful alike are embracing liturgical prayers to remind themselves of God’s promises as they look for peace in everyday situations. These readings, as Pastor Jon Tyson notes in his foreword, pierce the endless noise of both local and national media, and speak to our hearts in a deep way.

These beautifully penned prayers will help readers lay down their fears, losses, and brokenness as they engage the messier, lonelier concerns that aren’t usually addressed from the pulpit: the desire to be liked, creative droughts, secret sins, hunger for laughter. Perfect for daily inspiration, each entry is an invitation for readers to articulate their concerns and draw on the truth of God’s promises.

Liturgies for Hope is at once timeless and perfect for this particular moment, offering the words to express our longings, shore up our prayers, and reorient our hope.
