A distracted heart needs a watchful prayer life.
Watchful: Prayers for Guarding the Heart in Troubling Times is a Christian prayer book for believers who want to remain spiritually alert, inwardly steady, and devoted to God in seasons of uncertainty. Based on the call of Luke 21:34–36, this first volume in the Worthy to Escape series focuses on the condition of the heart—the place where faithfulness is either guarded or quietly weakened.
This book helps readers pray through anxiety, distraction, temptation, spiritual dullness, and the burdens of life that can weigh the soul down. With Devotional Insights, PrayerPoints, and PrayerScripts, Watchful offers guided prayer language for self-examination, surrender, renewal, and deeper attentiveness to the Lord.
