Book cover of Thoughts for Prayer: A Cowboy’s Perspective, a Christian prayer book by Craig Morse

Prayer for Real Life

Prayer does not have to wait for the perfect moment. Whether you are seeking strength, encouragement, safety, rest or simply a closer relationship with God, prayer gives us an opportunity to turn our attention toward Him in every season of life.

In Thoughts for Prayer: A Cowboy’s Perspective, author Craig Morse approaches prayer through something that has been meaningful throughout his life: the world of horses and horse tack.

Those observations became 31 prayers for strength, safety, encouragement, rest and other moments when we need to turn toward God.
