One Day, One Prayer

This book is an invitation. An invitation to pause in the whirlwind of our lives. An invitation to reflect, even if only for a few moments, to rediscover what truly matters. An invitation to prayer, whether it is a familiar conversation with God or a first exploration of inner silence.

Believer or seeker, practicing or simply curious, this book welcomes you as you are. Without judgment. Without dogmatism. With kindness.

Each day of the year offers you a moment to breathe: a carefully chosen Bible verse, a prayer to accompany your day, a reflection to nourish your meditation, and an intention to extend your prayer to the world around you.

Prayer is not a performance. It does not require perfect words or elaborate formulas. It is first and foremost a presence, a gaze turned toward something greater than oneself, a heart opening to hope. Some days, you will find comfort. Other days, a momentum to act. Sometimes, simply the peace of knowing you are not alone.

These 365 prayers follow the thread of the year, from January 1st to December 31st. They accompany the cycles of spiritual life: times of renewal, growth, reflection, and gratitude that rhythm every human life. They touch on all aspects of our humanity: joy and sorrow, doubt and faith, gratitude and the search for meaning, forgiveness and reconciliation, hope in trials, thankfulness in abundance.
