Yours is the Day, Lord, Yours is the Night by Jeanie & David Gushee

Yours is the Day, Lord, Yours is the Night by Jeanie & David Gushee is a daily devotional prayer book for Christians. If you need help with praying each day, this is just the type of book that can help you find a good prayer for each morning and evening.

Book Description

“Yours Is the Day, Lord, Yours Is the Night gives a framework for prayerful devotions with a morning and evening prayer for each day of the year. The prayers have been selected to reflect the seasons and the liturgical calendar. They are intended not to replace your personal, spontaneous prayers but to serve as a springboard for them.

Editors Jeanie and David Gushee have collected inspiring contributions from Protestant, Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox sources; from all continents; from the Old Testament; and from each century of Christian history. Yours Is the Day, Lord, Yours Is the Night will enhance your commitment to God and personal connection to the Christian tradition and the Church universal.” – Yours is the Day, Lord, Yours is the Night

My Thoughts

I try to make time each day to pray, but in all honesty, it doesn’t seem to always happen. I never found anything that would make me get into a good habit of praying each day at a certain time, until I started using this book. It is designed for each day of the year for you to pray in the morning with the first prayer, and then later in the evening with the second prayer for the day. The prayers featured in this devotional aren’t too long, but long enough to get something out of and reflect on your life with each one.

Yours is the Day, Lord, Yours is the Night is a very good prayer book for Christians. I enjoy using it to help guide my prayers. If you need a little guidance or help praying each day, this would be a great book for you to read. I also think it would make a very nice gift for a Christian to receive as well. I highly recommend it.
