Inspirational Prayers for Spiritual Wellness

"Becca Anderson's daily devotional is designed to quiet you down and create a space for peace and the nurturance of your soul..."-Spirituality & Practice Magazine

Calming Prayer. Becca Anderson, bestselling author of the motivational books Prayers for Hard Times and The Woman's Book of Prayer, brings us a new, up and coming classic, Prayers for Calm. Becca learned the power of healing prayer firsthand from pastors in her family who pray with their congregation as well as from working with Dr. Larry Dossey, a physician who prayed for his patients to great effect, leading to his book Prayer is Good Medicine. Through a mix of Bible verses, prayers for tranquility, quotes for quietude and peaceful poems, Prayers for Calm offers solace and serenity for every day of the year.

Ancient Wisdom. The collection of spiritual pieces in Prayers for Calm is from centuries' worth of wisdom and is meant to bring direction back into what may be a chaotic time. The hope is that these words from people who have experienced similar feelings will speak to your soul and help you get back on the path to spiritual wellness and healing.

Prayers for Calm is the perfect inspirational gift or encouragement gift. This book will help you:

• Slow your racing mind in this fast-paced world
• Calm your thoughts enough to see the big picture in overwhelming situations
• Assert control over your mind and believe in yourself
• Overcome nagging worries and fears that hold you back from life
• Deepen your connection to spiritual serenity
• Discover meditative mantras and actualizing affirmations to reduce your anxiety

If you liked Pocket Prayers, I've Been Thinking... or Prayers that Activate Blessings, you'll love Prayers for Calm.

Anxiety is on the rise (or, at the very least, awareness of it is), and this book will appeal to the many people looking for holistic help on their own terms. Barnes and Noble reported that sales of books on the topic of anxiety rose 25% from June to August in 2017; the increase is steady and notable. (https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/322877.php) Since the book is a collection and not by only one person, the readers are likely to find multiple voices that speak to their situation. It is more likely to resound with multiple readers, rather than a smaller, more specific audience. Perhaps, at the end of the book, a small, workbook-like section could be added so that readers are able to journal their thoughts, feelings, and what worked for them and revisit these later. This could double the book's function and lead to a more widespread audience. Since anxiety and self-help are both on the rise, there is a wealth of information available for sources, including https://www.anxiety.org/, https://www.health.com/condition/anxiety, and https://www.calmclinic.com/ I also plan to make use of websites like Pinterest, where a wealth of ideas are available and able to be traced back to a source easily.
