Yours Is the Day, Lord, Yours Is the Night

An inspiring, artful, and edifying collection of morning and evening prayers for every day of the year, assembled from the treasury of Christian prayer through the ages.

Yours Is the Day, Lord, Yours Is the Night is specifically structured to reflect the seasons and the liturgical calendar of the Christian church. Drawing from Protestant, Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox Christianity-and with contributions from worshippers on every continent-this prayer book includes prayers from a time span going as far back as the Old Testament and extending forward into the 21st century. Comprehensive and ecumenical, this collection not only will inspire personal Christian devotion but also help build a stronger sense of connectedness to Christian tradition and the Church universal.

The two short prayers provided per day-one for the morning and one for the evening-serve as a springboard for spontaneous, personal prayer and can be easily integrated into the reader's devotional time. Although primarily designed for individuals to use in their daily prayer times with God, this prayer book is a powerful resource for couples, families, churches, and others interested in how Christ followers around the world and across time have spoken their hopes, fears, and praises to the Lord.
