Prayers for 

every need

 

When life sends us trouble, we should pray. When we experience blessings, we should pray. When a friend or loved one is going through a difficult time, we should pray. We know this. Yet too often we don't know exactly what to say--so we say nothing.

Drawing from her many popular books on prayer, Linda Evans Shepherd offers you a compact, giftable compilation of powerful prayers arranged by topic, so you can find the words to ask God for help, consolation, wisdom, and many other needs for yourself or others. Covering such concerns as stress, anxiety, hard times, illness, and much more, the prayers in this book will be the ones you turn to again and again as you walk through life with the ones you love.

SAMPLE PRAYER​

 

Lord, your Word has told us, “God our Father loved us and by his kindness gave us everlasting encouragement and good hope. Together with our Lord Jesus Christ, may he encourage and strengthen you to do and say everything that is good”

(2 Thess. 2:16–17).

​

Lord, I claim your promise that you are God my Father, and through your kindness, you give me everlasting encouragement and hope. May Jesus himself encourage and strengthen me to do and say everything that is good.

In Jesus’s name.
