30 Days of Prayer - by Proverbs 31 Ministries (Paperback)

About the Book

The book of Psalms is filled with prayers God has given us to show it's possible to pray without ceasing---but only if we let go of our ideas of what we're supposed to feel and say when we come to Him. The psalmists talked to God about the past, the future, and asked Him for strength and forgiveness and rescue and justice in the present. We can, too.

Book Synopsis

What if prayer was never meant to be complicated?

Prayer is often made out to be a chore. We feel guilty when our minds wander or when we don't know what to say to God or when it seems like all we're hearing is silence.

The Proverbs 31 Ministries team invites you to discover what the Psalms teaches us about how we talk to God--and how it's possible to live a life of continuous prayer that's also a profound and life-sustaining relief.

Through an exploration of 30 Psalms, you'll learn to let go of how you're "supposed to" pray and open yourself to the freedom of expression contained in the words of the psalmists--whether you're seeking joy, expressing gratitude, grappling with sorrow, or searching for answers.

The act of prayer was never meant to be challenging or rigid, and God doesn't expect perfection when we come to Him. He just asks us to come.
