The Light of His Presence
ByPublisher Description
ECPA BESTSELLER • CHRISTIAN BOOK AWARD FINALIST • The beloved Bible teacher and daughter of Billy Graham shares a rich treasury of her personal prayers to guide you into deeper, more intimate daily conversations with God.
Why is it that as soon as we bow our heads to pray, we start thinking of other things we need to do? How do we make time to pray in the middle of our busy lives? And how do we know what to say and how to say it?
Like many of us, Anne Graham Lotz has struggled with prayer. Over the years, she discovered that writing out her prayers draws her into deeper, more intimate conversations with God. The Light of His Presence offers forty of these tender, honest prayers for real-life situations as an invitation to deepen your own prayer life through worship, confession, thanksgiving, and intercession. You’ll be encouraged to lean more fully into God’s promises through this power-packed devotional resource, which includes inspiring quotes from Christians throughout the ages and also has space to journal your own words to God.
As Anne writes, “My prayer for you . . . is that God will use my struggle with prayer to help you overcome yours. And that, as a result, you will be drawn nearer to the heart of God.”

“What do you think of when you hear the name "Billy Graham"? Or even his daughter's name, "Anne Graham Lotz"?
Many a time, I catch myself thinking, "They must have astounding spiritual lives. Never a difficulty, never anything." Heh. Lotz is quick to note in this her latest release that that is not remotely the case. What comfort! She's human, and so was her dad! And isn't it the truth that spiritual growth occurs more deeply in the forges of adversity? We certainly see that here with "The Light of His Presence"; Lotz shares prayers she's written over time and across a variety of topics: from missions to the future, confession to overcoming evil with good. Interspersed with striking pictures and moving quotes on prayer, the book is an excellent resource for any believer, regardless of where they find themselves in their walk with Christ.
I appreciated Lotz's forthrightness; she admits that she herself has struggled with prayer over the years, whether not knowing what to say, going through dry spells, or even frankly falling asleep mid-prayer. (I'm sure I've shaken my head before at the disciples falling asleep while Jesus went off to pray in the Garden; let's face it, we all would've done the same thing.) So this book means even more because it's personal, relatable, and real--it's not a self-help book on "how you, too, can have an epic prayer life in 7 days!" No ... it reflects life, and it reflects our Savior. A powerful read and one to revisit throughout the year and regardless of where you find yourself in life.
I received a copy of the book from the publisher via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.”
