Find Rest When Words Fall Short
In life’s stillness and struggles, it can be hard to find the words to pray. On My Behalf: Prayers for When Words Fall Short offers a gentle companion for those moments, providing heartfelt prayers that voice the unspoken cries of your heart. Paired with stunning images of creation, this book reflects God’s quiet presence and invites you into a sacred space to pause, reflect, and rest.
Rooted in the truth of Romans 8:26, On My Behalf reminds you that even in silence, the Spirit intercedes with love too deep for words. Whether it’s on your coffee table, bedside, or part of your quiet time, this book is a gift to help you reconnect with God and remember you are held, heard, and deeply loved.
Praise for On My Behalf
Over the years I have gathered numerous prayer books. They have helped me pray, and I often return to them. I have especially treasured prayers that speak into the difficult emotions and dark seasons that life brings. Over the years, Mike Labrum has been writing such prayers — the kind of prayers we long for when our souls are filled with the ache of unanswered questions. These are honest prayers that will speak hope to your heart when you are searching for the light. I am grateful for this rare gift to aid us "when words fall short”.
