A collection of classic and contemporary prayers, some derived from Scripture and others from the writings of Christian leaders throughout the centuries, this beautiful volume invites readers into a daily experience of closer intimacy with God. Each day's entry focuses on one of ten traditional types of prayer:
* Prayers of Thanksgiving
* Prayers of Confession
* Prayers of Affirmation
* Prayers of Petition
* Prayers of Renewal
* Prayers of Praise and Adoration
* Prayers to Have Christ-like Character
* Prayers for Wisdom and Guidance
* Prayers of Intercession
* Prayers of Surrender
With 260 entries -- enough for every weekday of an entire year -- Prayers for Today guides readers through a unique kind of spiritual pilgrimage, a pilgrimage toward the very throne room of God.
For any reader who's ever wanted more out of prayer or who's ever hungered for a greater sense of God's presence, Prayers for Today promises deepened communion with the One who treasures the words and longings of His people.
The prayers of our fathers,
our leaders, and ourselves –
the perfect prayers for today
From my personal journey with prayer was born this daily compilation of prayers from classic and contemporary sources, from poems, hymns, and spiritual songs, a fresh translation/paraphrase of Scriptures, and a final prayer called “A Prayer for Today.” I invite you to use these prayers daily to discover anew the intimacy with our Father promised through prayer.
