Messages in today's world bombard us with how we are supposed to feel at the different times of year. There are messages and advertising about what to buy, where to travel, and what to do with all of that free time and money we don't even have. In all this busyness, this hectic pace of everyday life, how do we draw closer to the messages of our heart and our God?

Fiction author, Anne Fons, takes us through some of the prayers she prays, and the self-exploration she does through, and with, them. She intersperses candid things from her own life with ways that have worked for her of getting past the surface to the profound. These prayers, set in a non-denominational Christian faith, invite readers to dig deeper into themselves to find their personal places of joy and their peace in the promises of God.

When words won't come, when things aren't what you hoped, Anne encourages you to find hope in God. Through all of life, the good, the bad, and the 'just regular' days, she encourages you to live your life with gratitude for everything. Gratitude and hope are two of her keys for living her best life. She hopes they are for you, too.
