From the bestselling author of Until Today! and One Day My Soul Just Opened Up comes a unique invitation to prayer—and her most deeply personal book yet.
Over the years, bestselling author Iyanla Vanzant has received many letters from readers who want to know how to pray. Some are afraid they are praying wrong. Some want a formula. Some think their prayers are unworthy. Here, Iyanla shares the realizations that changed her experience with prayer once and for all: Every thought, every word, every action is a prayer; focus on God's presence in everything—and everyone—and prayer becomes as natural as breathing.
The prayers in Everyday I Pray culled from Iyanla's own prayer journal, address a variety of topics and situations. It is Iyanla's hope that they will spark a light in the hearts of readers, and that others will come to know the peace of God's grace. With this intimate collection, she invites readers everywhere to join her in making the thoughts, words, and deeds of everyday life more reverent, honorable, and loving.

Wonderful meditations for almost every human need!
First of all I love Iyanla Vanzant so much for being such an authentic person who really understands how vulnerable our souls can be. The prayers in this book are written from the insight to how fragile we can be sometimes if not most times and therefore be in need of a way back to our Inner Strength through spiritual faith. My own personal experience when reading each meditation is a feeling of being comforted, understood and deeply cared for by the Higher Being in me. The prayers are beautifully simple and I feel anyone who considers themselves to be a spiritual being and is looking for a deeper alignment with God will definitely love this book. Thank you so much Iyanla!
I truly love this book
I truly love this book, the prayers really helped me and one of my friends, that's why I had to order another book, because I gave the first one to my friend who is going through it right now, so yes it's a blessing to me and my friend. Thanks for this book.
I was not disappointed!
This book has been a daily inspiration! If you need to be lifted, inspired, encouraged, reminded of yourself worth, spiritually connected, This book is it!
Even more than I expected highly recommended!
I got everyday I pray via audible and love it. It became a book I referenced so often I felt like I needed one to read and didn’t want to wait on the physical copy. Long story short, the kindle version have even more prayers than the audiobook and am pleasantly surprised. Perfect book for verbalizing your prayers when you can’t find the words. The audiobook gives you the heartfelt emotion intended for every prayer while the kindle book is there for when you need that alone time with you and God.
Prayers For Every Situation
The prayers in this book are comforting, helpful, inspiring and motivational. There is a prayer for every situation. It is a book I will read over and over again.
I love Ivanla's writing!
My husband shared this book with me years ago & I've purchased a few since then to share with friends & family. This may not be my last copy I'll ever buy.
Wonderful book for young professionals
This book is a wonderful collection of prayers for all occasions, when you're feeling anxious, thankful, overwhelmed or confused. You can read it each day and say a prayer according to your life that day. Its a way to speak with God everyday and not necessarily complain or ask Him for something, but rather just talk with Him. Its small and light and you can take it anywhere you go. I bought this book because I wanted to repair my relationship with God. I went to Catholic School for 18 years and was very much at odds with what I was taught. But I knew that even if I didn't belive like a Catholic, I believed. And I wanted to be able to talk to God in a beautiful way. This book certainly helped me do that. Buy it, you won't regret it.
So worth it!!!
Right when I got it I started it and didn’t wanna put it down so I had to force myself to pace through the book I’m in love if u really wanna get in touch spiritually read this book there’s a change that takes place with every prayer
Love it!
I love this book and almost each prayer is relatable! I will be purchasing more!

Review
Love this book
Nice book
Nice book of prayers.
Excellent examples of effective prayers
The examples of various prayers were open and honest communication with your higher source. It was all the things I wanted to say to God but didn't know how to be so open. It helped me develop a better prayer life.
Praying is the best way to communicate with God
Praying is the best way to communicate with God. I love this book it is a very easy way to communicate with God. Not your typical prayers but there is a prayer for every situation in this book.
Awakening Prayers!

Spiritual reading. I have not had to opportunity to complete the entire book.
Beautiful blessings and prayers
My favorite book of prayers—ever! Especially the “Prayer for Clarity”.
Amazing book of Prayers
The moment I opened this book and started reading the prayers I couldn't put it down. I have been reading a few prayers a day. When you are going through tough times in your life and need some kind of hope, this is the book to read. I instantly feel better whenever I read a prayer. Sometimes I just can't put into words how I feel or what I want to ask God but these prayers speak for me. Thank you Iyanla for this!!!!!!!!!!

Love book but supplier smh
True Inspiration!
OK so I might be biased to anything that bears Iyanla Vanzant's name! Though this book has brought many a smile to my heart and that of my Mum and sister. I ended up purchasing another copy since the other one is still being "borrowed." :~) Really any book by Iyanla Vanzant will touch your heart and even have you nodding to yourself in agreement! I treasure my Iyanla collection!

Prayers for Awakening
I love that Iyanla Vanzant is so positive. She has had a hard life and yet she comes out of it praising life. Her devotions are always positive and either make you smile or make you think. You cannot ask for anything more than that.

Her books are so inspiring and feel good books. This book makes you think about how you live your life and what changes you need to accomplish to live a happy fulfilling life. I love all her books!
Love it
I always enjoy books that are written by Iyanla Vanzant. She is so inspirational in her words. I haven't read this yet but look forward to reading.
Daily Prayers
I have always been a spiritual person. I'm not religious however. Religon is a man thinking about fishing while in Church. A relationship with God is a man fishing thinking about God. But fellowship is important. For me I just can't get the words right that are deep in my heart. Having these prayers morning, evening, and anything else I need helped me so much. If I do nothing else I say Page 28 morning prayer when I wake up and Page 157 Evening prayer before I go to sleep. God Bless Vicki
Inspirational
A great tool for daily devotion and meditation. I use it for meditation and use the prayers as tool in daily life spiritual strengthening.
Great selection of prayers
Great selection of prayers. The table of contents provide you with types of prayers (uplifting, remorseful, giving thanks), if there is a specific area of need.
Iyanla is Queen!
There has never been a more Divine motivator put on this earth. Every word she writes with Divine energy's hand. I adore the book...keep it close when I need help to connect...

Prayers that enlighten me and soothe my soul. I needed this book at this time to understand prayer and praise as a spiritual woman.
Good prayer book
This is a good book -- I read 4-5 of the prayers nightly.

What a way to connect with God
I bought this book at a time I was going through a difficult time and I could not even pray, so this was a great way to reconnect with God
Not a happy camper
I had pages out of order. Some of the same pages multiple time and missing pages. I don't know who is at fault but I'm upset about it.
Gave as a Gift
It looked really nice when I gave it the once over, and I have so enjoyed all of Iylana Vanzants books-- especially "One Day My Soul Opened Up." Cannot give it a 'love it' since I gave it away, and I am not sure the recipient actually read it- she did not let me know.
Amazing
Enjoyable reading, knowledgeable author. You will be uplifted with this book. Put this on your must read list for this year
Great!
Loved all the different prayers to get you through whatever you may be going through! Great book! Very satisfied!! Love it

PRAYERS
This is a great read! It also a great way to kick start a prayer life. It works as a guide.
Inspirational and lovely
I use this book before meditating or entering into an extended prayer session. There have been significant times of loss and confusion in my life when this book has put me in the right frame of mind to clear my brain and give my problems/questions back to God. In each instance, it helped me to calm my fears and react from a place of peace and strength. This book has truly been a blessing in my life. Its not all doom and gloom though. It also has prayers of celebration, happiness and gratitude. If you have someone in your life that needs a little inspiration, I recommend lovingly giving them this book and telling them to use it how ever they feel comfortable. Maybe that someone is you.
The Power of Prayer
EVERYDAY I PRAY is a collection of prayers written by Ms. Vanzant to address the everyday trials and tribulations that one may face. This collection seemingly has a prayer for every situation that extends to touch just about everyone! In reading through EVERYDAY I PRAY, one will feel inspired and reflective, thankful and serene. Given to me as a gift, I picked up the book to casually peruse its pages. Let me tell you, there is nothing casual about EVERYDAY I PRAY. It is a powerful collection of prayers that has touched me. Ms. Vanzant has outdone herself once again! Reviewed by Nedine of The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers
EXCEPTIONAL IN ALL ASPECTS!
Prayer is so personal and so customized to the individual that it is never wrong. Ilyanla simply presents her prayers to the reader to inspire, ignite and facilitate this need that has existed since the beginning of the world. This book can be studied alone but it is fun and more powerful in group study. Find committed friends and read it as a book club book as my group Living Prayer group is doing. It will change your prayer life. It will change the power within you!
I Loved This Book! Thank You, Iyanla!
I received this book as a Pollyanna gift from a co-worker last year and this is one of the best books I've read. I was unable to put this book down for the past two weeks because of the beauty of its words. The inspirational prayers cover a variety of topics that I can apply to certain situations I've gone through in my life. I've gained a better understanding to how to deal with those issues with the letters writen by Iyanla. Thank you so much, Iyanla, for another wonderful book!
Author of Mama and us & Suicide-The Explosion Within
I loved this little book filled with dynamic verses and prayers designed to unlift the spirit and feed the soul, while addressing a variety of subjects and situations that we are often confonted with in life. A prayer book to make reference to for any and all occassions.
An incredible prayer book
This book is an incredible book of prayers. When I've needed encouragement, I've turned to one of the prayers and have been lifted. I have no problem with with the male/female references. God is a spirit...they that worship... My young daughter reads them and is helped by them too. Sometimes what I can't put into words what's deep in my spirit, Iyanla's prayers become my own and I'm empowered. Excellent book. I love the ending of each prayer... "And so it is"
wonderful book
This is a great book, it is so good i had to get another one for a friend, and he also love it,
Great Resource for Upliftment
The prayers are excellent and a great resource to use on a daily basis. They provide much needed inspiration and guided words to communicate with the Creator in a powerful and direct way. It can be applied to any spiritual tradition, which makes it assesible and uniquely powerful.
Wonderful!
Prayers for all occasions, a book you will always return to. You will enjoy tremendously
A true blessing
Iyanla...Thank you for writing such a touching book. It has truly been a blessing to me! Finally, I feel a sense of peace in my spirit. I will use these prayers as affirmations in my life. May God continue to bless everything you do!!!
An excellent resouce for prayers
The prayers in this book are incredibly relevant, deep and introspective. They connect you to the Source of life and love in such an incredible way. I love this book.
I was a bit disappointed
As a woman who as been journaling prayers for years, I was very interested in her book. Her prayers are beautiful, however, my disappointment came when she seemed to think it necessary to make God a figure of 'polical correctness'. She refers to God as Him/Her or He/She. As a person who communicates with God regularly and supposedly reads the Word of God, I think she would be assured in her heart of the gender of God. And So HE is. Amen
Great transaction!
Quick shipping, great price. Thank you. I love the author and this book, I take it with me wherever I go. Thank you.
Well written, just may not be Christian
Enjoyed the book. Noticed neither Jesus nor the cross referenced a single time. How can a Christian write an entire prayer book and not ONCE mention the Lord, the King, the cross, our ONLY mediator and advocate, the way the truth and the life for us? (It's a rhetorical question.)
This book is worth having
This is a really nice little book with various prayers relevant to everyday life's concerns & issues. It is not about religion but about praying to God (as opposed to religious figures/jargons). The language is comforting & the words used are simple with minimal reference to the author's own religious believes. It does have a few small black & white photos on some pages, very charming & unpretentious. The audio version does not contain all of the prayers in the book (about 75% of it) but it is a good selection. Personally I didn't like the background music in parts (although it is very low). I wish the audio version was the book in full, and with no background music (or at least a no music version would be available too). It is read by the author herself, and she does indeed speak clearly with a beautiful and calming voice.
Heartfelt
Was given a copy years ago. Found it inspirational. Bought for someone.
Lovely book
A lovely book from a very gifted and blessed author. Thank u x
Nice fir those wanting to give thank and be specific
