Tool Books - Prayers for Emotional Wholeness

I think it's worth paying homage to prayer books.

Prayers for Emotional Wholeness
- 365 Prayers for Living in Freedom
- Stormie Omartian

This is definitely my most used prayer book. It was on display and on sale for a few bucks a couple years ago at the christian bookstore at kipling and steeles, that's when I got it and it has been well worth the financial sacrifice.

I love it. It has 24 different topics. 10-20 short prayers for each topic, and a bible text with each prayer.
Some of the topics are:
 - When I Need Hope and Joy in My Heart
 - When I Need to Renew My Mind
 - When I Need Help in Tough Times
 - When I Need Comfort and Guidance
 - When I Need Help in My Relationships
 - When I Need to Feel Close to God
 - When I Need to Understand My Purpose and My Future

I use this book especially to pray for other people, and then while I'm doing that I end up using it to pray for myself. One of the reasons I really gravitate to this book, to put it simply without getting into any theology, is because it focuses primarily on the person instead of the person's circumstances.

I tweet and facebook a lot from this book. I'll usually put #prayer and #SO for Stormie Omartian. She has some other prayer books in the same format that I may get into later on.

Let me wet your tongue:

When I Need to Be Free of Anxiety and Depression

Lord, I put my hope in You. I refuse to look to other things or other people to give me purpose, fulfillment, and peace. I confess any anxiety I have as a lack of trust in Your ability to sustain me. I submit my life to You and put all my expectations in Your goodness, power, and love. Help me to pray about everything and trust You in every part of my life.

My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him.
Psalm 62:5
