We were attracted to this second-time published piece simply because of the title. Prayer just happens to coincide with current studies (second year, graduate school - Theology). In fact, earlier today we were reading about all of the different types of prayers and there are plenty.
The title of the book is just perfect is the breath prayer was the first of our topics to read today. This is the basic prayer and its intention is taking your heart to God, with a focus on simplicity. Perfect beginning!
Lyda goes into the gifts from God, as they pertain to our prayer life.
Life as a Prayer is well-organized, thoughtful and offers inquiries to make the reader think. This is not simply a list of prayers to mutter, for the sake of praying. No.

***a good choice for times you can't find words to pray***
Hope Lyda, author of the "One-Minute Prayer" series, encourages and reassures with scriptures, prayers and meaningful reflections in One-Minute Prayers for Comfort and Healing. They are especially useful for times of emotional turmoil that leave us emotionally spent, without words, unable to pray.
That's not an uncommon occurrence today as our nation adjusts to the "new normal" caused by the housing bubble and collapse of the U.S. economy in the 2007-2008 Financial Crisis. Since then foreclosures are common, jobs lost, never to be regained and many continue life in a whirlwind of loss, grief and unanticipated change. Others struggle with health diagnoses like cancer, Alzheimer's or degenerative heart disease that cause fear of the unknown, emotional stress and anxiety that disrupts marriages, families and meaningful relationships.
These one-minute prayers and scriptures offer comfort and hope with relevant Bible verses, brief readings and prayer that invite readers to pause and "experience the still and quiet voice of God."
