This is just an awesome book. I read it every morning. I scroll through the table of contents, then i pick a prayer and read it out loud. The author of this book, as well as her other books, does not hold to one religion. Anyone who believes in any sort of Higher Power will relate to this books prayers, and they are a good start for people like me who are idiots with prayer.

Love this author. She is so real and true. She is a great therapist in a book but I'd love to meet her in person. Her writing energy brings peace and serenity.

Each prayer has a calming and impowering effect. After reading most prayers I wished that if I could look that simply at life. These prayers reitterated being grateful for everyday things.

This sounded a little cheesy to me, but I got it anyway because my old coach recommended a different book by this author (Trust), but all my library had was this one. So far, it's actually been really moving and amazing. Definitely making me want to seek out the other book, too.

...

Liked it. Some really moving prayers in here.

A nearly perfect prayer book. It contains prayers for almost every imaginable need and life situation. This book was such a blessing. It's currently the best possible prayer book that I own and I know that I will be returning to it a lot: maybe every day as the title suggests. Thank you Iyanla! :)

Prayers For Every Situation

The prayers in this book are comforting, helpful, inspiring and motivational. There is a prayer for every situation. It is a book I will read over and over again.

When she got to “Dear Father God and Mother God” that killed. Not a biblically based book on prayer nor are her prayers biblical.

I mean she provides an idea of prayer and what we should be thankful for which I appreciate but did not leave me feeling like I gained anything from her perspective.

Beautiful book 📖 of prayers. My only reason for four stars is because I listened to the audiobook version. I am an avid audiobook listener. I always listen to audiobooks but in this particular case scenario I think it took something away from my experience.

I think it would have been better to actually read the prayers and see the words rather than listening to an audiobook for this particular book. This is not on the author. It is all on me.

Helpful for finding words when they feel so intimidating. In general, this feels like a good place to start.
