One Minute With God for Women: 365 Days of Daily Prayer and Spiritual Strength

Every woman who has walked with me has told me the same quiet confession: she wants to pray, and the day simply will not hold still long enough for her to do it. The alarm goes off, the children need breakfast, the inbox fills, the phone buzzes, and somewhere between the first cup of coffee and the last load of laundry, the intention to spend time with God dissolves into a vague hope for tomorrow. This book exists because the problem is not your desire, and it is not your discipline. The problem is that you have been told prayer requires a block of time you do not actually have. One minute is enough. God meets us in the space we actually have rather than the space we wish we had.

This book is built on a method called the One Minute Prayer,. It works in a car, a hospital hallway, or a kitchen with a toddler at your feet, because it requires no special words, no special place, and no special mood. Inside you will find daily prayers on the themes women actually live with:
• Anxiety and the peace that passes understanding
• Identity and worth in Christ
• Strength for the hardest days
• Forgiveness that sets you free
• Rest for your weary soul
• The quiet power of listening
• Praying without ceasing, one minute at a time

Every entry quotes the Word of God directly, and every prayer is written to God, not performed for an audience, and the book is undated, so a missed day is simply a day you return. The women who used this method stopped dreading their quiet time and stopped lying to themselves about their spiritual lives, because they found that a faithful minute is worth more than a sporadic hour. Lower your expectations of yourself and raise your expectations of God. Whether you are a mother of three, a nurse, or carrying a difficult season, this book was written for the space you actually have. It is about living each day with the quiet awareness that you are loved, that you are seen, and that you are never alone, one honest minute at a time.
