Prayers for Our Lives: 95 Lifelines to God for Everyday Circumstances

Sometimes we know exactly what to pray, and sometimes it seems hard to find the right words. That is not unusual. That is why Christians have been writing prayers to support each other for centuries, based on the values and the standards we find in Scripture.

In Prayers for Our Lives author and pastor Mel Lawrenz offers 95 different prayers to be used in times of distress, on special occasions, and as daily patterns. For instance:

Morning Prayers Evening Prayers Mealtime Prayers For the Family For Worship When We Are Ill When We Are Discouraged For Faith and Salvation When We Are Tempted For Friends For the Nation When Someone Gets Married Praise to Christ the Lord Thanks for a Major Achievement When We Need Guidance and dozens more

You can use these prayers in private times, in a group, for a special occasion, or in church. Or adapt them as you see fit.

ENDORSEMENT

Mel writes with disarming honesty, and each prayer is like a cry of the heart. Here child-like simplicity meets sage-like wisdom, all of it spoken so intimately that living breath still seems to fill each word. Lifelines indeed.
