Cryiiiinnnngggggg.
Praying is SO hard! In the best of times, when prayer is easy, you need to fight pride *while* praying. When prayer is hard, if it's not because of our own physical weaknesses and limitations (read: distractions), it's because our hearts are heavy with emotions and pain from this broken world of suffering. Gahhhh. This book is not flippant in its advice, but a real and biblical call to arms!
Walsh partners Scripture with biblical exegesis and real world explanations to her personal examples in this daily devotional. Her goal is to reformat the way believers think about prayer and increase the frequency and time we spend in direct communion with the Lord via the Holy Spirit. Along with each daily reading is an example prayer that will hopefully begin the readers' prayer on that topic. Her topics are real and wisdom convicting. Walsh does not shy away from hard examples, but equally fills Pray Anyway with praises and sanctification opportunities to grow. As someone who has unanswered prayers (for years now) regarding topics that cause daily suffering, I am so glad Walsh addressed the "what ifs" and "when nots" that this broken world often leaves us with.
I left feeling encouraged, known, reminded of how loved we are on Christ, and hopefully to spent an increasing amount of time in prayer moving forward 💖
"I'm too tired, God, will you carry me?" 😭💓

I have followed the ministry of Sheila Walsh for years and eagerly anticipated this book; however, what an unexpected surprise when it surpassed any and all expectations I might have had.
This book delves into real life stories, along with practical, Biblical advice and heartfelt prayers addressing the complexity that life can bring. The reader is reminded God sees us through many situations and issues we often encounter in our daily lives. Despite busyness and many distractions, we can experience peace by trusting as well as experiencing His presence.
Sheila offers encouragement to press on through struggles many of us will face and still have the hope that only Jesus can provide.

I love Shiela Walsh. This is a fantastic resource for anyone going through hard times. The author gives personal stories, scriptural response, and reflections along with a short prayer to help you pray when it feels like you can't. Chapters are short, but meaningful.
