Morning Prayer Book: 30 Days of Christian Devotions and Prayers for Spiritual Growth with Jesus by Alexander Debelov and Stefania Leao is a month-long series of daily readings focused on biblical teachings paired with prayers. The devotional leans into reliance on God for strength, peace, and protection during difficult times, drawing from scripture such as the Psalms and New Testament passages. It addresses areas like trusting God’s timing, the importance of forgiveness, and the impact of speech on spiritual well-being. Faith is portrayed as both a shield against adversity and a foundation for a meaningful relationship with God, nurtured through prayer, obedience, and humility. The devotional also shares God’s provision, the power of resurrection, life through the Spirit, and asks believers to renew their minds with scripture. Each day includes a prayer to garner support in applying these lessons practically.
Alexander Debelov and Stefania Leao’s Morning Prayer Book is a well-crafted, beautifully composed, and accessible daily devotional. The writing is clear and purposeful, guiding readers through scripture and prayer with gentle encouragement. I was particularly touched by Day 17, which draws from 1 Corinthians 15:33 to warn about the dangers of gossip and negative influences, urging careful discernment in relationships to protect one’s faith and character. The devotional thoughtfully speaks on the importance of guarding our hearts and cultivating intimacy with the Holy Spirit, reminding us that idle talk can quickly turn into real harm. The inclusion of actual prayers for each day’s message is such a wonderful reinforcement and, especially for those who are new to or rediscovering their faith, is perfect for the journey toward spiritual renewal. Overall, this is a steady guide rooted in scripture, making it a helpful tool for those seeking to nurture a faithful, prayerful walk with God. Very highly recommended.
