ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: The Prayer Jar: Hope
Inspired by New York Times bestselling author Wanda E. Brunstetter’s The Prayer Jars series. . .
The Prayer Jar Devotional: Hope delivers the same life-changing inspiration as Wanda E. Brunstetter’s unforgettable stories. Every reading will help you draw closer to your heavenly Father.
Your prayer life will be transformed as you read through these dozens of encouraging devotional readings centered around the theme of hope. With each turn of the page, you’ll discover unchanging truths of God’s Word alongside meaningful prompts that guide you to write out your personal prayers or favorite, hope-filled Bible verses and then add to your very own prayer jar. (Simple instructions are included in the introduction.)
Once you’ve finished reading the last page, you’ll have a full prayer jar of your very own. Use it to infuse your heart with inspiration and encouragement when you need it—or share it with a friend who could use some faith restoration of her very own!

You know a devotional is going to be good when you break down just reading the introduction! The words hit the deepest chord within my soul in such a powerful way that tears flowed down my face. I am struggling with a debilitating illness, while also dealing with deep personal loss, and I need hope in a bad way. “Hoping for strength isn’t enough. As Christians, we need to rely on God’s power to strengthen and help us with all the challenges we face.” I know this to be true, but something about reading it when my spiritual walk has been dry and desolate was the living water that my soul has been desperately crying out for.
I have been a fan of Wanda Brunstetter’s novels for awhile, but I have had a chance to read any from The Prayer Jars series. After beginning this devotional I know I need to read them! If they are anything like the devotional I know they will be entertaining while also holding powerful soul-stirring truths.
Each day of the devotional begins with a title and one Bible verse, each from different versions of the Bible, something I greatly appreciated as we all have our unique favorites (mine are the New Living Translation (NLT) and the English Standard Version (ESV) if you were curious). The devotional part is only a few paragraphs but don’t let that fool you. There is so much applicable truth each day that often left me pondering the words spoken hours later. If you decide to do a physical prayer jar for yourself, which I have, there is “Prayer Jar Inspiration” at the bottom of each page that gives you one sentence that you can write on a piece of paper, and slip into your own jar. Years ago I did something similar with a “prayer box” and if you’ve heard of those, this is the same concept. I can’t wait to see how the Lord uses this practice.
Even if you decide to forgo the jar, I still believe this is a delightful devotional that will touch your spirit. Wanda’s writing is unmatched, and the truth that is on these pages will bless you if you let the words soak into your spirit. Though my circumstances haven’t changed, and many of those prayers still left unanswered, I now am seeing them through a new lens. A lens called hope.
