Pray On It and Pray Over it

You pray ON a decision. You pray OVER a person. You pray on what worries you. You pray over what you love.

PRAY ON IT AND PRAY OVER IT is the order that carried me through the hardest nights of my life: stop first. Sit down with God. Then move — from peace, not from panic.

Part One teaches what it means to pray on it — before the call, before the message, before you sign the paper or say the words you cannot take back. Part Two teaches praying over it — covering your home, your children and grandchildren by name, your marriage, your work, the people you love, standing in faith and saying: Lord, I cannot be everywhere and I cannot fix everything, but You can cover what I cannot.

Then come the prayers themselves: for worry that will not let go, for decisions, for healing inside and out, for letting go of pain, for money worry, for hard conversations, for waiting on news, for sleepless nights. Coverings for your children, your home, your friend, your work, your marriage, your parents, your neighbors — and the hardest covering in the book: a prayer for the one who hurt you.

For the days you do not have the words, there are prayers one line long. Say it once. Say it ten times. Heaven hears a whispered prayer just as clearly as a shouted one.

Stop first. Pray on it. Then move — from peace.
