Prayer Doesn't Have to Be Intimidating

Do you find yourself saying the same things to God over and over again? Does a thriving prayer life feel completely out of reach?

Maybe all it takes to open up to God is five little words. Each entry in this forty-day devotional will provide you with a simple five-word prayer, a corresponding Bible verse, and thoughts to encourage you in your communications with your heavenly Father. The short prayers in this book include...

  • I need You desperately today.
  • Set my burdened heart free.
  • Help me to forgive myself.

The strength of your prayers lies in your heart intent, not your word count. Discover a new joy in your conversations with God!

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable and simple to read for my elderly mom
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2020

I bought this book for my mom who is living in assisted living, and has dementia. She needs to be able to read the print, and have something not very complicated. She's also not a religious person. She immediately liked the 5-word theme. I bought a copy for myself. I am a Christian, albeit young in my faith. I enjoy her simple prayers and heart felt messages. It's clear her own life is reflected in her choices of each daily 5-word prayer, and at the same time, the issues are more or less universal. I'll admit, I live a different kind of life than most. Even before finally turning towards God and Jesus as my savior, I still felt alien to much of how the world operates, and made choices to avoid mainstream pitfalls. I never commuted far to work. I kept my life simple. I avoid accumulating 'things' and sadly I didn't meet my husband in time to have children. So while I say the messages are universal, for me they are universal in the manner of how we've all been raised to live. Not trying to share about my life as much as make the point that although I personally didn't always relate to the themes, I know they are common and pervasive as I've worked in healing professions or service industry and catering my entire life. I'm 57. Hope this provides insights. The author has a very nice writing style, and it reads well.

This is a great little devotional. The writer is authentic and genuine. She is biblically centered and writes from a fresh prospective on prayer. One of the best and most applicable books on prayer for daily real life application.

4.0 out of 5 stars Five Words May Be Enough
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2017
Prayer is a mysterious thing, and how God works through prayer is even more mysterious. Several years ago, I was working in a ministry organization that really made me question my calling in ministry. I loved the work and (most of) those I worked with. However my supervisor was anything but a Christian leader. Her morals were questionable, her work ethic was sketchy and her treatment of her employees was determined by how little she paid you (the more you were paid, the worst you were treated, which included public shaming). I was a hospital chaplain, and had just come out of a great situation. I loved where I had worked, however my contract was up and I needed to move on. So I moved across town and immediately regretted my decision.

Fast forward about four months to an incredibly draining weekend where I ended by day by being chewed out for ministering to the family of a dying patient. It was not my unit, however I was the only chaplain available that weekend. The problem was not that I was on a unit that I was not assigned to (necessarily). The problem had been that I had agreed to go and minister to them. By the time I got home, my family was already in bed. Oh, did I forget that I had to be back at 8:00 am the next day. I collapsed into my recliner and simply prayer, “God, please do something now.” It was five words, yet it was probably the most heart-felt prayer that I had ever personally prayed. Five words.

The next day…I was fired. I am still to this day not sure that “you’re the best floor chaplain that I have” is sufficient reason for firing someone. But like I said, everything about this lady was highly questionable. After being let go, I went back to my office to finish my paperwork (it was the deal to get my last paycheck). I flipped open my phone (yup) and saw that I had a voicemail. It was the hospital that I had previously worked for, and they were offering me a job! “Please come to a meeting tonight to hear more details.” Less than twenty-four hours later, and it seemed that God has answered my prayer. I would go on to spend 2-1/2 years with that hospital, leaving only to accept my current full-time teaching position. Five words.

Please do not misunderstand me. I am not saying that simply praying a simple prayer will solve all of your problems. What I am saying is that our prayers, especially in difficult times, can be simple prayers—even as simple as five words. This is the beauty of Whittle’s little book. It is theologically light, and can border on advocating the very approach to prayer that I am cautioning you against in this review. However, her “five-word prayers” are practical. Some of her prayers can be adjusted for more critical moments of life, such as the sudden, tragic death of a loved one (“Please give me strength now” or “I want to trust you.”). Yet, in for the busy, connected world that we live in, this prayer guide might be just what you need to find guidance from and fulfillment in God.
