Description

Children the world over are taught to say prayers at bedtime-but how many adults take time to turn to God at the end of the day? This collection of prayers is one of the few daily devotionals especially intended for use in the evening. In Lift Thine Eyes, the faith of a man who recognized human despair but refused to give into it offers a wellspring of hope we can turn to again and again. Blumhardt's prayers (and the corresponding Bible passages he has chosen for them) bespeak a certainty in God's nearness; the peace that flows from them comes from an unshakable conviction that his kingdom is indeed on the way. In stormy and changing times like our own, most of us need this reassurance frequently, if not daily.
