We all deal with stress in our lives and we all struggle with how to let go of that stress. The prayers in this book will help you surrender your stress-and yourself-into the arms of God. Each meditation begins with a Scripture verse, followed by a short reflection and prayer. Guntzelman's reflections will resonate with you in those times when you may be feeling burdened, alone, unappreciated, or unloved. She then wisely leads you to recognize the often hidden causes of your tension and exhaustion. And, with each meditation and heartfelt prayer, she will bring you to the tranquil, refreshing waters of Christ. ~ Short reflections are perfect for busy people. ~ Makes a thoughtful gift.

Great Morning Meditations,
By
This review is from: Surrendering Our Stress: Prayers to Calm the Soul and Strengthen the Spirit (Paperback)
Great short morning meditations. I read one each day and paused to reflect on what was said. It is a great way to start out the day, especially if you can keep the thoughts in mind throughout the day.
The only part that I found a little weak was the pronouns in the fixed format of each day. Joan's reflections were always with a "We", never an I. That sometimes struck me as impersonal, especially on some very personal topics. Conversely, her prayers each day were always with an "I", which I found sometimes too personal -- somethings I have to face alone, and feel it, but somethings I believe I face in community with others, and want to express my feelings (and prayers) in that manner.

Everything is Grace,
By Dolores J Gray (Arizona, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Surrendering Our Stress: Prayers to Calm the Soul and Strengthen the Spirit (Paperback)
To quote Joan Guntzelman, in the Introduction of this beautiful little book, "Surrendering Our Stress: Prayers to Calm the Soul and Strengthen the Spirit is meant to help us examine our own lives and discern how we may be stumbling blocks to ourselves, even when we are not aware of it."
With each meditation you will be drawing closer to God, the source all peace. The short reflections begin with a verse of two of Scripture, move into a short meditation, and end with prayer. I lead a large Bible study in my church and we've been using Joan's reflections and prayers to end our Bible study each week in meditative prayer(Lectio Divina)-- the powerful, transforming and healing grace of the Holy Spirit working in us and through us.
