Description
Cultivate a quiet place to still your soul.
Do you notice that even when your body is not moving, your mind is racing? Anxiety, to-do lists, and the spiral of negative thought patterns often keep us from the stillness we long for. In Present in Prayer, award-winning author Jennifer Tucker invites you to allow the Holy Spirit to speak through God's Word and renew your mind through the practice of Christian meditation.
As in her first book, Breath as Prayer, Tucker shares a powerful prayer practice in this beautifully illustrated book that is deep yet accessible. Each of the 30 meditations offers:
- A gentle call to silence, an opening prayer, and a thoughtful reflection on a Bible verse
- Guided meditation on Scripture using the centuries-old practice of lectio divina—a framework of Christian meditation that helps you slow down and linger on God’s Word
- A prayer of surrender and prompts for how to live out the truths God is speaking to you
- Inspired art to draw you into each meditation as you consider what is lovely, true, excellent, and worthy of praise
With a beautiful foil-accented cover and full-color original illustrations throughout, Present in Prayer is an ideal gift for:
- Anyone experiencing stress, anxiety, or overwhelming thoughts
- Those who want to establish a more regular prayer practice
- Prayer groups and prayer ministries
You're not in a hurry. You're on a journey. Cultivate a more purposeful and peaceful prayer life and greater intimacy with God as you focus your thoughts on His Word.

I loved this introduction to the practice of lectio divina--guided meditation on Scripture. Includes 30 meditations to help bring calm while focusing on God's word. A wonderful resource to boost one's faith.

Oh, the times I have struggled to stay focused during times of Bible study. So many earthly interruptions...the tv in the background, the phone ringing, the dryer buzzer going off, the dog barking,..... Present in Prayer by Jennifer Tucker delves into ways to stay focused, to eliminate the distractions, and have a peaceful Biblical meditation.

Present in Prayer: A Guided Invitation to Peace Through Biblical Meditation by Jennifer Tucker is the author’s latest devotional. I absolutely loved her book Breath as Prayer. This book is just as good, focused on what it means to be experience God’s peace. I cannot wait for this book to release so I can by a hard copy. It’s well worth the purchase. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.
