Finding Peace through Prayer: Seven Practices for Praying in Hard Times

We don’t have to look far to see that our world is full of hardship and pain. It’s a matter of when, not if, suffering enters our lives or the lives of those we love. In those moments, how are we called to pray?
Finding Peace through Prayer is a companion and guide for Christians living in hard times. There are many books that talk about “why” or “what” to pray—but Finding Peace through Prayer is a practical guide that shows you “how” to pray in times of sorrow and hardship.
This book is an invitation for those who are experiencing suffering to discover the peace of Christ through prayerful practices. It’s a resource for those who want to pray for people in their lives that are enduring seasons of hardship. And it’s a manifesto for those who are familiar with the pain and agony of life, but long to keep trusting Jesus.
Drawing from his own journey through suffering, Mitch Everingham gently walks readers through seven biblical ways to pray in their most difficult moments. These practices will be a balm for your soul, helping you to love Jesus and keep hold of your faith when it feels like life is falling apart. Finding Peace through Prayer is a book of practices for believers who live in hard times—and therefore, it’s a book for all Christians.

Mitch Everingham is a pastor from Sydney, Australia and is currently living and serving in Bern, Switzerland with his family. He holds a BTh from Sydney Missionary and Bible College, and is completing his MTh in missiology at Edinburgh Theological Seminary.
