Prayers for Hard Times: A Devotional Daybook The simple act of prayer can heal--not only spiritually and emotionally, but even physically. Author Becca Anderson credits her recovery from cancer to God's help and the power of prayer. The pages in this daybook invite you to ponder the timeless words of the Holy Bible, but you will also find the wisdom of spiritual teachers and insights of people such as Mother Teresa, Abraham Lincoln, Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King Jr., and Elie Wiesel--who faced difficulty, only to survive or even grow through their troubles. Prayers for Hard Times not only weaves these wise words into a tapestry of comfort, consolation, and renewal, but also offers focused prayers for those times when our troubles seem altogether "too much" to bear alone. The prayers in this daybook address a wide variety of specific difficulties--including illness, the loss of a loved one, divorce, anxiety, depression, and addiction--alongside the challenges communities face, such as responding to natural disasters, economic difficulties, and the needs of veterans and those serving our country at home and abroad. Prayers for Hard Times offers reassurance, help, and hundreds of prayers for what your heart needs in times of trouble. The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; The Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.
