Comfort and Clarity in Hard Moments
When Prayer Feels Impossible speaks gently to moments when anxiety makes prayer feel out of reach.
The approach is simple and respectful of both faith and human limits.
I appreciated how it offers practical steps without pressure or guilt.
The focus on surrender helped me feel less alone during stressful moments.
This book reminded me that prayer can begin even when words feel impossible.

Inspiring and motivating
My perception of prayer has changed after reading this book. I liked how it teaches you to apply the concepts learned to your daily life and particular circumstances. Be honest with yourself and God when you pray and take a moment to recognize and name your feelings. Great for personal development too. Very recommended.
