READER VIEWS EDITORIAL BOOK REVIEW
Elizabeth Upton’s The Comfort Prayer Book: A Gift for Your Heart is a collection of over thirty prayers designed to alleviate pain, increase community, and foster a sense of play, gratitude, and so much more. These prayers range in length from a few sentences to a page or two, but none of them feel overlong, as each moment guides the audience through a story, a feeling, and towards a greater sense of purpose.
These prayers are heartfelt, but these are not the staid prayer books of old. These prayers confront relevant topics such as healthy communication in “There Comes a Time to Speak Your Mind,” which will speak to audiences who are overly patient and need to express better boundaries to maintain a good equilibrium in their relationship, whether that is a platonic friendship, a deepening romantic relationship, or the potentially turbulent and history-filled depths of a filial relationship.
Upton never shies away from deep emotional turmoil, and what readers will quickly connect with is how she inspires and encourages the audience to pray through difficult times. Upton also shines a light on how by noticing moments—or even our healthy mind—of goodness in our lives, we can cultivate gratitude.
Like a muscle, the stronger our sense of gratitude is, the more aware we become of these glimmers throughout our day. As these moments and our gratitude compound, they help us put into perspective whatever unsavory or frustrating things we may encounter in our day.
Upton also weaves science in without putting faith and science at odds, sharing how important it is to master the technology in our spaces and not let our smartphones dictate our lives, leading to a beautiful conversation about being intentional with our phones. The message here reminds me a great deal of Charles Spurgeon’s quotations, and the concept of creating a holistic approach to technology, friendship, communication, and life in general through one’s prayers helps to stretch the borders of one’s prayer time and is applicable to a wide audience.
All told, The Comfort Prayer Book: A Gift for Your Heart by Elizabeth Upton is a great read, and would make a nice gift for graduations, retirements, or other significant milestones in anyone’s life!
