Prayers for a Simpler Life is an uplifting book of prayers and stories that will help you along this journey we call life. Faith is a Mennonite mother and wife and she has a knack for sharing different stories and tales that help us to see what life is truly all about. I really enjoyed the format of the book. There are verses to read, along with a small story and then a prayer and a reflection. She did a great job of helping apply Biblical theology to real life. For example, she talks of a friend who battled with depression. She was overwhelmed by life and pleaded daily for some relief and light in her life. Even though help was not immediate, she still saw God in her life and clung to Him. Her faith grew during her depression and she found hope. There are so many other examples of God's love in this book. It is a great book and I highly recommend it! I received this book for free from NetGalley for my honest review.

As I walk this life trying to live in a way pleasing to God and myself, any help I can receive is a blessing. This book is just that, a blessing. The scriptures, the devotionals, the prayer at the end of the devotional is all things that can and will help me in my daily walk. I had something on my mind, and I picked up this book and read a devotional. It inspired me to not give up and to remember, Psalm 27:1: "The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear"? I am so very thankful to the published and NetGalley for allowing me to read the advanced copy of this devotional in return for my honest review.
