For those who work, watch or cry in the night
How can we trust God when darkness reigns?
Drawing on a traditional prayer from the Anglican Church, Tish Harrison Warren explores themes of vulnerability, trial and the apparent absence of God. As she went through a period of doubt and grief, faith and prayer served as her anchor. Prayers, and in particular those that our predecessors transmitted to us, “put words on my anxieties and my suffering,” she writes, “and allowed me to find in the doctrines of the Church not simple antidotes to pain but a light in darkness, good news.”
Where can we find comfort when we lie awake worrying or crying late at night? In a book that can be described as pastoral, sincere and poetic, Tish Harrison Warren invites us to join her in prayer and trust, in the depths of the night, as we walk through the valley of shadow , whether at work, at home or in our world full of uncertainties.
This book was voted “best Christian book of the year” in the United States by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA) in 2022.
