Beautiful guide to praying for your own kids or other kids
Format: Hardcover
Kayla Craig offers a stunning book for parents - or really anyone who has relationships with children of any age! There are dozens of beautifully written prayers and pages of breath prayers for all kinds of situations, from special days to everyday moments, which can be read and prayed as-is (including a few simple prayers worded for kids!), but which may inspire your own words as well. I especially appreciated the way the prayers acknowledge the likely privilege of the type of parent who would be able to afford this book (or have the friends who would purchase this book for them). Most of the prayers have some moment of outward focus, remembering those who might be struggling, who might not have the same resources, who might be oppressed or grieving or suffering. As I sit with these prayers and let Kayla’s words become my own, I ask God to let his heart become my heart, to care for those on the margins as much as he does. Beautiful book to have on your nightstand or to give as a gift.

A fantastic prayer companion on this parenting journey
Format: Hardcover
Kayla Craig has such a gift for naming the hard things, wrapping them up in tender promises, and buoying up our hearts with the hope she weaves through each of her prayers. I so appreciate this book of prayers as it brings deep compassion and kindness to both the hard and the happy. I did not grow up in a liturgical tradition, but I have found liturgy to be a grounding, calming thing these days. In the midst of pandemic parenting, in the midst of a world that groans and weeps, her words bring a sense of calm, a rootedness in the present moment, and the invitation to see His goodness, His lovingkindess in every single moment. For any parent that feels like they have no more to give, for those who have maybe lost the ability to pray, or wonder is it even worth it to try...let Kayla gently lend you some beautiful words that may help you continue onward.

Beautiful and Spirit-filled book of prayers!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I am not a parent, but I have loved following Kayla Craig’s Instagram account, @liturgiesforparents. She is a gifted writer and manages to convey complex emotions into simple prayers. There are prayers for life events, everyday occurrences, and, my favorite part, breath prayers. I especially liked the Scriptural basis for the breath prayers. As a pastor, I would not hesitate to hand this book to a family in my congregation. In fact, I may impress many copies upon families. I also read these prayers through the lens as someone who doesn’t have my own children. Most of the prayers are written for parents and from that perspective, but many could be edited to be used as prayers for children who are not your own. My only critique is that some of the prayers felt a little too long. And I would have liked more prayers that kids could say too. I received an advance copy after pre-ordering the book and agreeing to share my thoughts.

I think I’ve purchased six copies.
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
It’s just that good. I purchased this book for myself and was so blessed by it that I began buying it for the other moms in my life that I love so much! I have paced the floors of my home while my children are at school and husband at work, praying these prayers over my family. I have read these prayers through tears, joyful and sorrowful. Of all the books that line the shelves in my home, this is the one I reach for most often. It gives me words when I don’t have them, and is a pull to draw close to God as I parent my children and care for my family. I cannot recommend it enough!!
