{ "item_title" : "When Prayer Feels Out of Reach", "item_author" : [" Steeple Publishing "], "item_description" : "What do you do when you still believe in God-but depression has made Him feel impossibly far away?When prayer feels exhausting, Scripture is difficult to concentrate on, and even the presence of God seems hidden behind a wall of numbness, faith can begin to feel like one more thing you are failing to do. But depression is not proof of weak faith, hidden sin, or divine rejection. And you do not have to pretend you are well in order to remain close to the God who meets people in the depths.When Prayer Feels Out of Reach: Finding God in Depression with Honesty, Grace, and Faithful Hope is a compassionate Christian companion for those navigating depression-clinical or otherwise-while struggling with spiritual disconnection. Drawing especially from Psalms 22, 88, 42, 43, and 130, this book explores the prayers Scripture gives us when polished prayers are impossible.Within these pages, you will discover a gentler way to understand faith during seasons of darkness. You will learn how the Psalms make room for abandonment, numbness, unanswered questions, repeated sorrow, and waiting without treating any of them as evidence that God has rejected you.You will also encounter accessible spiritual practices for days when traditional disciplines feel beyond your capacity. Breath prayer, Scripture listening, embodied Sabbath, borrowed prayer, silence, and receiving the prayers of others become invitations rather than obligations-small ways of remaining connected without turning spirituality into another measure of performance.With deep respect for the realities of depression, this book affirms professional mental-health treatment and refuses the harmful idea that therapy, medical care, or appropriately prescribed medication competes with Christian faith. Instead, it offers a compassionate vision in which spiritual care, professional support, community, and embodied practices can stand together.You do not need a dramatic breakthrough to belong to God. You do not need perfect words to pray. And you do not need to call the darkness light before you are allowed to hope.If prayer feels out of reach and you need a faithful companion for the dark, open these pages and discover how the Psalms can help you remain honest, held, and gently oriented toward morning.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/819/241/9798192418291_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "13.99", "online_price" : "13.99", "our_price" : "13.99", "club_price" : "13.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
