In a world that feels increasingly fragile, people will continue to look for new prayers and new ways to pray.

Prayers for Hope and Comfort covers issues facing individuals (illness, addiction); those challenged in relationships (aging parents, divorce); local communities (natural disasters, unemployment); the larger world (poverty, hunger, war); and creation itself (loss of rainforests, species extinction, global warming). Prayers for Hope and Comfort offers readers solace, comfort, and hope, drawing from the wisdom of every era, every major faith and tradition, and the important voices of those who have lived through such experiences themselves. The book contains selections from some of the world’s most profound poets and thinkers: David Whyte, Eckhart Tolle, Sister Joan Chittister, and Martin Luther King, Jr. as well as traditional prayers and verses from every time and place.

Book excerpt: For centuries, poems have been written describing God's simple graces. Saint Alphonsus Liguori, the founder of the Redemptorist Order, was a great poet who conveyed God's love through meaningful and poignant verse. Some of the most prolific and well-known poets of the past 150 years are included in this compilation and continue the tradition of using poems for prayer, meditation, and loving God. The selected poems in this body of work are divided into themes common to all human experiences, including love, forgiveness, commitment, faith, and hope. The chapters are shaped to give the reader a chance to hear the deep stirring of their hearts put into words, and this can be done on an individual basis or as lectio divina, or group prayer, when a verse is read aloud to the group. Some of the poets included in the book are Anna Akhmatova, Emily Dickinson, Robert Hayden and Naomi Shihab Nye writing about God's love, nature, hope, faith, and heaven. Wendell Berry writes of peace and salvation, and Patrick Kavanagh of love and forgiveness. Poetry is a way of expressing extraordinary thought in a simple fashion; these poems express intense emotions of love, thankfulness, wonder, and peace. Throughout the years, simple graces have inspired poets to write and readers to reflect on God's beauty and love that is all around us. View sample pages. "Hardcover"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spirit of the Lord that dwells inside of me (the author,) has allowed me by his wisdom to pen this poetry. I did not know that I could write such meaningful words, until the spirit of the Lord told me what to write and say. Thus began my journey into the world of poetry. This book is about God and His family. It is letting the readers know how they can take the word of the Lord God, Jesus Christ the anointed one and apply them to their everyday living. I know this might sound corny and a little bit square, but believe me it works, it has for me. It tells the reader how to let God into their lives and he will give them all the strength they need to overcome the wiles of the adversary. This book is about the understanding that I received from reading the scriptures of the Lord. They helped me tremendously in my personal life as well as my spiritual life. It is an interpretation of God’s word. This book started out as just writings of my thoughts and meditations that I had during my journey to my lord. After I started attending church services on a regular basis. I believe my spiritual awareness took precedence and I started writing poems on a regular basis. I was not thinking of turning them into a book until, my grandchildren started telling me that I should. They called my writings deep. There are some interesting topic in the book that might be of interest. I know that the Holy Spirit helped me pen this poetry book, because every time I read it I get instant recall as to what was going on in my life at the time of the writing. I wrote this book about seventeen years ago and it never creases to amaze me that I can recall the reason why I penned these words. I hope and pray that whoever reads this poetry book get touched by the Spirit and if they are not follower of Jesus Christ or the father God, that it makes them want to look into becoming one of God’s saints. May the Spirit of the Lord touch you and give you comfort, peace, joy and understanding. May God blessings be upon you. Amen.
