Pocket Prayers: 40 Simple Prayers that Bring Peace and Rest

Grow closer to God as you navigate life's challenges with these forty simple prayers to help guide your journey.

Do you ever get distracted when you pray? Do your thoughts zig, then zag, then zig again—your head swarming with all the things you need to do that day? If so, there is hope.

Max Lucado knows what it feels like to struggle with prayer. If you can relate, never fear! The sign-up sheet for Prayer 101 in the Bible contains some familiar apostles—the first followers of Jesus needed some prayer guidance too.

In this brief book, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado will help you direct your prayers to the Source of all hope and strength in Pocket Prayers, which contains 40 guided prayers and complementary scriptures for any situation.

This pass-along companion to Before Amen can serve as:

• A personal prayer book
• An outreach tool for ministries and churches
• A simple encouragement for those who struggle to pray

Today, let the conversation with God begin.
