    About this ebook

    “The most powerful spiritual healer, fixer, teacher on the planet.” —Oprah Winfrey

    From the bestselling author of Until Today! and One Day My Soul Just Opened Up comes a unique invitation to prayer—and her most deeply personal book yet.

    Over the years, bestselling author Iyanla Vanzant has received many letters from readers who want to know how to pray. Some are afraid they are praying wrong. Some want a formula. Some think their prayers are unworthy. Here, Iyanla shares the realizations that changed her experience with prayer once and for all: Every thought, every word, every action is a prayer; focus on God's presence in everything—and everyone—and prayer becomes as natural as breathing.

    The prayers in Everyday I Pray culled from Iyanla's own prayer journal, address a variety of topics and situations. It is Iyanla's hope that they will spark a light in the hearts of readers, and that others will come to know the peace of God's grace. With this intimate collection, she invites readers everywhere to join her in making the thoughts, words, and deeds of everyday life more reverent, honorable, and loving.

      If one is looking for a short book on everyday situations, this is the book to get. All prayers were written by the author herself. I loved all of them esp. A Mother's Prayer for Her Child(ren). A prayer about thanking God for our child(ren) and to watch over them.

    I am so grateful that when the hopelessness of despair threatens to overtake me, I can come to you in prayer.

    I am so grateful that when I feel weak and helpless, I can come to you in prayer.

    I am so grateful that when my family and friends turn their backs in my times of need, or are not there to encourage and support me, I can come to you in
