Review: A Rhythm of Prayer: A Collection of Meditations for Renewal
A Rhythm of Prayer: A Collection of Meditations for Renewal by Sarah Bessey My rating: 5 of 5 stars Prayer is complicated. We pray, we hope God is listening. If our prayers are answered, meaning we feel comforted or what we ask for comes to pass, we may wonder if the prayer made a difference. If our prayer is not answered--or the answer is no, not yet, later--we may wonder why or why pray next time. Reading through this collection of prayers reminds me of the Psalms, a collection of prayers that celebrates, whines, and bemoans the same issues. Is God listening? Why is all this stuff happening to me? To the people I love? Thank you, Sarah Bessey, for collecting these prayers and publishing them to pull me beyond my questions about prayer and into the presence of God. I was sad to end the book, and I will read it again. View all my reviews
