This came to me in a time of praying for a dear friend:
Greater friends don’t simply take up your cause.
Greater friends take up the cause of Christ in you.
In other words, my greater prayer is not simply for the resolution of your circumstance. My greater prayer is that Christ would have his way with you, that He would form you through your trial, that He have the full measure of His purpose for you, in your difficulty, achieved.

Sheltering Mercy, along with its companion volume, Endless Grace, helps us rediscover the rich treasures of the Psalms—through free-verse prayer renderings of their poems and hymns—as a guide to personal devotion and meditation.
The church has always used the Psalms as part of its prayer life, and they have inspired countless other prayers. This book contains 75 prayers drawn from Psalms 1-75, providing lyrical sketches of what authors Ryan Smith and Dan Wilt have seen, heard, and felt while sojourning in the Psalms. Each prayer is a response to the Psalms written in harmony with Scripture. These prayers help us quiet our hearts before God and welcome us into a safe place amid the storms of life.
This artful, poetic, and classic devotional book features compelling custom illustrations and foil-stamped hardcover binding, offering a fresh way to reflect on and pray the Psalms.
