“When Scripture is scattered like seeds into good soil, a garden grows. This book is a fruitful garden, the fruit of good soil—fragrant, nutritious, beautiful. It calls us into the light, humbles us in our varied needs, delights us in God’s many mercies. It is a resource for worshiping honestly and well. And it is a resource for living honestly and well. And it is a resource that will bless you when you put it to work.”
– David Powlison, Executive Director, Christian Counseling and Education Foundation (CCEF)“I find it easier to learn about God than to talk to him. These devotionals and prayers assist me in doing both, with the added benefit that they inspire me to pray those prayers with others.”
– Edward T. Welch, Faculty Member, Christian Counseling and Education (CCEF)

Prone to WanderOctober 12, 2014
Prayers of Confession and Celebration Barbara Duguid, wife of Westminster Professor Iain, and current student Wayne Duguid Houk have recently published a new book on prayer, Prone to Wander. Order your copy at the Westminster Bookstore! Publisher's Description: Confessing our sins might seem like a gloomy business—God already knows about them, so what’s the point of dwelling on failure? But confession is more celebratory than we think. It does not simply remind us of our guilt, but points us to our great Savior, who has atoned for us and lovingly pursues us despite our wandering. These prayers open with a scriptural call of confession, confess specific sins, thank the Father for Jesus’ perfect life and death in our place, ask for the help of the Spirit in pursuing holiness, and close with an assurance of pardon. Inspired by the Puritan classic The Valley of Vision, these prayers were developed for both personal devotions an church use. |
