Real Life Requires Real Prayers
Truthful Prayers for Resisting the Chaos brings you thirty prayers for times of uncertainty by Christina Edmondson and Ekemini Uwan, hosts of the popular Get in the Word with Truth’s Table podcast, with over 1.5 million downloads.
Scripturally rooted, justice-centered, and culturally aware, this devotional gathers prayers originally shared on the podcast, thoughtfully curated to invite you into honest dialogue with God. Treating Scripture as the Living Word—something to wrestle with, question, and inhabit, not just read devotionally—these prayers create space for lament, hope, and authentic spiritual grounding.
What you’ll find in Truthful Prayers for Resisting the Chaos:
- Thirty justice-oriented prayers with accompanying Scripture verses and references to listen to the Scripture reading
- A flexible format that you can read as a thirty-day devotional or selecting prayers by topic
- Reflection questions for deeper engagement
- Prayers addressing fear, sickness, war, political uncertainty, and more struggles and injustices of life in our complex world
Real life requires real prayers. If you long for spiritual reflection grounded in real experience, a deeper connection between Scripture reading and prayer, and a way to express your faith honestly and authentically, Truthful Prayers for Resisting the Chaos is the companion you need.
