Prayer

Loving God, be patient with me when I stray from you, when I fail to turn to you during challenging times. Help me remember the simple things I can do to return from chaos to hope, peace, and serenity. For you are able to care for all that exists. Amen.

Carry These Words in Your Heart Today

I can trust my smallest concern to God’s wisdom.

Today's Picture

God cares for all things — from the giant redwoods to the tiny hummingbird. I ran across this fern on a hike in Wisconsin a couple of years ago. How beautiful is God's handiwork!

Question

How do you deal with distractions and anxieties?

A Guide to Prayer for All Who Seek God

Rueben P. Job and Norman Shawchuck

This third Guide to Prayer by Rueben Job and Norman Shawchuck opens up the spiritual journey to "All Who Seek God." It's my favorite of the Guides to Prayer, partly because of its accessibility and partly because the voices of Job and Shawchuck come through more clearly through their written contributions.
