Centering Prayers for Women is a collection of 365 daily prayers for moments of silence and meditation, in a beautiful new edition especially for women. In the midst of busyness and noise, and being pulled in many different directions, Centering Prayers for Women provides a moment of deep quiet, to draw closer to the love of God. The love, warmth, and peace that radiate from these brief daily prayers spring from the ancient Christian practice of contemplative prayer.
Centering Prayers for Women is:
A book of simple, gentle daily devotions to grow our awareness of God's presence
An invitation to find peace and stillness, to listen and just be
Ideal for centering your mind and heart at the beginning of the day, or at bedtime, to calm anxiety
An ideal gift for anyone who feels lost, doubting, or fearful, anxious, or needs reassurance of the intimate love of God
A helpful tool for letting the noise of the world recede and entering a prayerful space
Structured by the natural seasons of the year, and includes special prayers for holy days
Rooted in Scripture and timeless Christian wisdom, these open-hearted prayers are rich in imagery, helping us connect with God as Living Water, Source, Sustainer, Living Gate, Love, Wisdom, Beauty, Strength in Life, Abba, Eternal Listener, Grace-giver, God of Gentle Power, Beloved Source of Security, and more. Centering Prayers for Women is a perfect companion for a personal retreat, or to pray with others in community.
