A Treasury of Over 350 Prayers for Every Aspect of Life
Priest and theologian David Taylor began writing collects, an ancient form of short prayer, as a daily spiritual exercise and as a way for him to offer back to God hisown fears and anxieties. Over time, as requests for written prayers from friends and even strangers multiplied, his collection expanded to over 350 prayers, each one shaped to address the diverse circumstances and needs we encounter on life's journey.
Prayers for the Pilgrimage is a compilation of Taylor's prayers, arranged by topics across all aspects of life and inviting you into a richer devotional life. Accompanied by the beautiful artwork of Phaedra Taylor, the author's wife, this volume provides spiritual nourishment for those looking to deepen their relationship with God through prayer.
What you'll find in Prayers for the Pilgrimage:
- Over 350 carefully crafted prayers covering a wide range of life's experiences and needs.
- A practical appendix that guides you in writing your own collects.
- Beautiful, original artwork by Phaedra Taylor that enriches your devotional experience.
This book includes prayers for morning and evening, work and play, public life and private life, doubt and faith, from Advent to Lent, from birth to death. We are invited to pray all of our lives back to God, lest we begin to believe that there is anypart of our lives that God isn't interested in seeing. Prayers for the Pilgrimage gives you not only specific prayers but also a model for understanding your whole life as prayer.
