Lutheran Prayer Book: For the Use of Families and Individuals
Overview
Prompted and guided by the Holy Spirit, the prayers that come forth from our hearts express our needs, feelings, and struggles as closely as our mind can express them. But there are seasons when the words won’t form, and even those accustomed to praying freely will pray the Psalms or other written prayers to express the ineffable wants of the soul. The Lutheran Prayer Book provides precisely such prayers, suitable for hundreds of different occasions or seasons of life. In addition, prayers for children and hymns for the family are included, as well as recommendations for incorporating these prayers, hymns, and other devotional writings into your daily devotional practices.
