When You Don't Know What to Pray: 100 Essential Prayers for Enduring Life's Storms

Do you struggle with translating your pain, desires, and hopes into words?

My prayer is that this book will help you hear how the Holy Spirit works through God’s Word to communicate to you, that you’ll be prompted to pray in agreement with Him, and that you will overcome the hurdles you face in walking with your Savior.

This book is not intended to take His place in your life. So please don’t expect these to be magical prayers or a guidebook on how to get what you want. On the contrary, the goal is for you to hear Jesus—to know Him better and love Him more in the distinct area where you are enduring a storm.

And as you read these prayers, make them your own. Listen to what the Lord God is saying. As Scripture comes to mind, pray that too. Allow God to speak to you, heal you, and lead you in the way you should go. Learn to talk to and interact with your Savior. And may you experience the great joy and deep comfort of trusting Him through life’s every struggle, and the awesome victory of winning your battles on your knees with Him.
