“I can’t pass a bookstore without slipping inside, looking for the next book that will burn my hand when I touch its jacket, or hand me over a promissory note of such immense power that it contains the formula that will change everything about me.” ― Pat Conroy, My Reading Life

Quietly, in bedrooms and armchairs across the world a force of power unknown and unseen is unleashed, changing the course of the world: the prayers of faithful women and men for children.
Untold numbers of mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts, uncles and people of faith lift up prayers. We do not know how many soldiers have returned home to spouses and loved one because of these prayers. We will never be able to count the good choices made and bad choices avoided. How many have been healed? How many have avoided disaster? How many lives have grown in faith through the quiet prayers of others.
Join us for twelve weeks of prayer from Psalm 23. Sign up here to receive the weekly email devotional message with a prayer for you to pray for a loved one.
