Prayer Poems

By Deeci Murphy

Prayer Poems is an offering written to celebrate our privilege of prayer. All too often when life
gets difficult or out of hand, we withdraw. This is the very time we need to draw close and
communicate with our Creator. Whether for guidance, support, comfort or mercy, may this book
support your efforts to find confidence in the power and simplicity of prayer.
