Filled with personal reflections and Rupp's poetic views of the world, this book was a perfect addition to my year immersing myself in books about prayer and personal prayer practices.
The theme I take away most from this book is compassion. Our prayer life leads us deeper into compassion for ourselves and others.

“Prayer is never done. Our growing is never finished. The giving of our goodness is never completed. Our journey with the Holy One goes on and on.” -111

"It only takes one person with a heart full of love and a desire to alleviate suffering to make a significant difference in a larger sphere of humankind."
A beautiful reminder that our journey with God is strengthened through prayer. Joyce Rupp's anecdotes and poems are affirmations that prayer grows us. It is not a means to an end.
Our prayer life may not be as consistent as we want it to be, but He will meet us where we are.
