Prayers for Hard Seasons: 90 the Seasons That Break You Open

Some seasons leave you without the words to pray. There are days when the waiting feels endless, grief feels overwhelming, illness changes everything, anxiety will not quiet down, relationships become difficult, money feels tight, or the world itself feels too heavy. Prayers for Hard Seasons was written for those moments. This 90-prayer companion gives you simple, honest words to pray when your own words have run out. Each prayer begins with Scripture and is written in the first person, so you can pray it as your own. A short closing "breath" gives you one final thought to carry with you after the prayer ends. Inside you will find prayers for: - When you cannot find the words to pray - Long seasons of waiting and unanswered questions - Grief, loss, and an empty home - Diagnosis, surgery, pain, illness, and recovery - Worry, fear, anxiety, and emotionally heavy days - Difficult marriages and painful relationship decisions - Financial pressure, debt, work, and uncertainty - Fear about the world and the future >The book is organized into nine parts, with ten prayers in each part, so you can open directly to the season you are facing. You do not have to read it in order. You can read one prayer in a difficult hour, return to a particular section whenever you need it, or work through the entire collection. These prayers do not promise that every difficult season will end quickly. They do not pretend to know why suffering happens or why some prayers seem delayed. Instead, they invite you to bring your whole self-your weary self, angry self, hopeful self, and doubting self-before God. If you are walking through grief, waiting, illness, fear, financial stress, relationship struggles, or simply a season when you do not know what comes next, let these prayers meet you where you are. You are not alone in the hard season. Open the book. Take a breath. Pray the next prayer. Keep showing up.
