I’m Praying for You by Nancy Guthrie

When we hear that a friend is struggling, it can be easy to say, 'I'm praying for you', but harder to know what to actually pray. Through forty carefully chosen Scripture passages, Nancy Guthrie helps teach us how to pray for those who are hurting. Each chapter includes a Bible passage, short explanation, and a prayer for your friend. Using the QR code at the end of each prayer, you’ll be able to copy, paste, and personalize a text message to send to the person you’re praying for.
