Prayers for the People

Witty, relevant prayers for extremely online Christians--and those who love them. Meet Terry Stokes, the youth pastor that we didn't know we needed. In his debut collection of prayers, Stokes offers collects for all the things we didn't know we could pray for: for student loan cancellation, for when we're about to make small talk, for when we have the opportunity to be petty. The collection boasts an impressive range of humour and inspiration, but also spans prayers of lament and solidarity, encompassing felt needs including: - For when one has been left on read by a friend - For before shooting one's shot - For after shooting one's shot - For before walking into Target - For when one fears getting cancelled - For when one dreads the thought of returning to work on Monday - For those working in retail - For when one's team is struggling In this collection, Stokes crafts language that is tender, convicting, and entertaining, and ultimately opens readers to see the wonders, joys, and access to God available in any scenario we may encounter. By putting words to the emotions and needs that lay beneath our petitions, our celebrations, and our resistance, Stokes' prayers make for an engaging and heartfelt read that will delight, convict, and encourage any person of faith in the modern age.
