Everyday Prayers for Peace: A 30-Day Devotional & Reflective Journal for Women

by Brooke McGlothlin, Mary DeMuth (Foreword by)

Overview

How do you pray for peace when it seems like your whole life is spinning out of control?

In Everyday Prayers for Peace: A 30-Day Devotional & Reflective Journal for Women, author Brooke McGlothlin guides you through prayers for peace wherever it’s needed—in your family, your community, your workplace, your church, and the world at large.

This thirty-day devotional features Brooke’s “Think, Pray, Praise” method of daily prayer—a practical, biblical way to pray the Word of God over yourself and the people you love.

Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid” (John 14:27).

Brooke says Jesus does not simply give us peace; He is our peace. He is "our refuge in the storm, a place where we can run to get strength, comfort, and truth to see us through whatever troubled circumstances would come our way." This peace offered by our dear Lord can be ours if we just pray.

Editorial Reviews

Peace in the Bible is not merely the absence of war, but the presence of wholeness. When we see the word shalom, it connotes a robust, wholehearted fullness of body, mind, and spirit. It’s what God provides for a mother in the trenches, whether she’s an exasperated chef to many, an exhausted caregiver, or up to her ears in dirty laundry. God is the source of this shalom, and He readily grants it to those in need.
To ask for peace like that is to pray. I can think of no other person to best pen a book about prayer and peace and parenthood than Brooke McGlothlin. She has walked the journey from joy to heartache back to fullness again. She’s a companion alongside the roadway of motherhood, encouraging from a position of empathy.
