Life has its rhythms. We all need to be able to cope with its ebb
as well as its flow. We have to survive its darkness as well as its
light. We face dry times as well as times of richness. To survive
this intricate pattern, we need to have an overriding rhythm of
prayer. We need to know that whatever is happening, we are loved by
God, and in him we live and move and have our being. "This updated
gift edition of one of David Adam's most popular books features
new, specially commissioned drawings."
Years ago, devout Christian Gwendolyn Wilson Diggs thought she'd
been forgotten by God. While waiting in line for a life purpose,
she felt skipped over. Others members of her musically inclined
family sang or played instruments, yet she did nothing. Then,
during a particularly dark period, she sat down and screamed, "God,
what do you want me to do?" His response: "Spread my Word and
proclaim the gospel of Christ."Diggs's "A Place of My Own to Give
God Glory" offers forty devotions, each illuminated by scripture
and inspired by God. By putting God first and seeking His face,
Diggs discovered her true purpose; since then, she has been filled
with the joy and peace of Christ, and she seeks to spread His Word
to the whole world. She artfully combines life experiences with
scripture, turning each devotion into applicable lessons for your
Christian walk, with included journal sections for personal
reflection.Proverbs tells us, "In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and
He shall direct thy paths." God is waiting for you to walk at His
side. These daily devotions will encourage you to view your
difficulties from a Christian perspective. All of your questioning
will reveal your purpose. God does hear you, and He wants you to
hear His voice. All it takes is daily devotion to Him, and never
forget the most important thing in life: Give God Glory

In Commanding Blessings Every Day author Pastor Tony Dosumu shares
five basic principles related to prayer and offers a variety of
prayers to be used for the challenges faced in life.

supplication, and he provides an effective method of praying God's

This book is presented by the Old Catholic Church of the United
States. The Old Catholic Church of the United States is a Catholic
Family of Faith, based within the United States. As inheritors of
Apostolic Succession from the Western Latin (Catholic) Church, the
Ancient Oriental Churches and the Eastern Byzantine (Orthodox)
Churches, we possess a rich theological heritage. It is a
sacramental church, embracing the fullness of Christianity as
expressed within Catholic understanding. It stands, holding fast to
the teachings of the ancient faith, in a modern society that is
often hostile, towards Christians in general and Catholics in
particular, and chooses to obey the timeless message of Christ
rather than yield to the "Spirit of the Age."

'These prayers help me to pray... All prayer is talking to God as
to a friend, and it is God's closest friends who can teach me how
to do that best.' Timothy Radcliffe OPThis treasury of prayers for
the Third Christian Millennium offers practical spiritual guidance
for an increasingly busy world.The late Cardinal Basil Hume, in his
Introduction, writes that the need for us to be people of prayer
has never been more urgent. We know that unless we are deeply
rooted in a sense of God's presence and able to refer all things to
God, then our pilgrimage into the future will be marked more by
uncertainty than by the peace which is God's gift.The book's
extensive range includes favourite Catholic prayers such as the
Rosary and the Stations of the Cross, along with others that may be
less familiar, organized under many different themes and topics.
Helpful introductions and a pattern of daily prayers make this book
nothing less than a course in Christian spirituality.The book is
for people approaching Christian prayer for the first time, and
also for those who want to begin afresh. It will be especially
helpful to young people, and the parents and teachers who want to
help them learn to pray in the living tradition of the Church.
Published to coincide with the new weekday lectionary of the Church
of England, this prayer companion is aimed at all whose pattern of
daily prayer includes the reading of the Psalms. The guide teaches
us to pray with the Psalms as people of faith have done for
thousands of years. Readers learn to understand the Psalms of
praise, lament, blessing and cursing today and to use them as a
basis for daily thanks-giving and intercession. For each Psalm
there is an introduction, a meditation based on a key verse or key
theme and a practical suggestion for a creative response in prayer
or action.
Today, the boundary between holidays and pilgrimages is blurred. So
how can we make a journey in the spirit of a pilgrimage, whether it
be following an old pilgrim trail, or walking the streets where we
live, or simply travelling within ourselves? This volume aims to
help by providing material for a week's journey in prayer. Celtic
in flavour, it offers poems, Bible readings, psalms, hymns and
prayers for a seven day pilgrimage of the heart. It is bilingual,
with each page provided in both English and Welsh.
If man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that
proceeds from the mouth of God, then Johann Starck has provided a
bread basket for the Church with his Prayer-Book. This book of
daily prayers, hymns, poetry, and devotions presents in every
syllable the Bread that has come down from heaven. Written as daily
nourishment in the Word of God, this book also lends itself to
meditation and prayer during many of life's peculiar situations.
Professor Dau describes Starck well when he writes, "Starck loved
nothing sensational, nothing that was for mere display in matters
of religion. Christian life, to him, was real and earnest, to be
conducted in a sober mind. He was always bent on its practical
applications to every pursuit and action, and on enlisting really
the whole of a person in the service of the Master." When
Christians nourish their souls daily with meditation upon the Word
of God and the Sacraments, faith is strengthened. The Bread of Life
fills hearts and minds, and Christ finds expression in the world
through Christian life and speech. A contemporary pastor said it
best when he said "Starck gives Christians a daily helping of
meditation in God's Word, and leads them to satisfaction in their
vocational tasks."
