"Pocket Prayers for Troubled Times" features original and traditional prayers addressing anxiety and adversity. With seven themed chapters, it offers comfort for various life challenges.

\["For anyone seeking solace in difficult moments", "Addresses anxiety and pressure with focused prayers", "You will find hope and strength in your struggles"\]

"Pocket Prayers for Troubled Times" offers comfort through prayer during life's challenges.

This new addition to a deservedly popular series of pocket—sized books (this one is by a popular author, too) contains prayers from a variety of sources to help us cope with a wide range of common actually or potentially troublesome situations, 39 in all. When I dipped into the material for 3 situations I’ve been having to deal with recently, namely unemployment, disability and family bereavement, I found the prayers very helpful, notably ‘Hard Times’, ‘Beatitudes for Disabled People’ and ‘Farewell’. These prayers will keep your own experience in perspective and help you pray with more understanding for others. I recommend this little book.
