‘Five things to pray…’ is series of short books from The Good Book Company designed to boost our prayer lives by giving us fresh ideas. The latest addition is Five Things to Pray for Friends or Family who are Walking through Trials by Helen Thorne.
If we feel at a loss to know how to pray for a friend or loved one who is engulfed by deep waters, take heart. As Director of Training and Resources at Biblical Counselling UK, Thorne is a sure-footed guide. Shaped around four big themes – speaking out, looking up, soaking in and pressing on – she takes 21 passages of Scripture and explores five ways in which each one can shape the way we pray. Her suggestions are thoughtful and sensitive. Some are obvious; others wonderfully stimulating and fresh.
