"I'll write a prayer for myself"

Tsh talks with Douglas McKelvey, author and editor of the Every Moment Holy prayer collections, which she has long loved and used frequently. They talk about the role of communal prayer, why the need for both written and spontaneous prayer, and why it’s helpful to use prayers both new and old, crafted by others, to help deepen our relationships with God. * Dixie’s Substack newsletter, The Hollow * The Every Moment Holy series * The Wingfeather Saga * Everything Sad is Untrue, by Daniel Nayeri * Emily Lex watercoloring books * Tsh’s newsletter: The Commonplace * Tsh’s books, trips, & Rule of Life * Join Tsh’s next pilgrimage: The Rhine River 2025 * Recommended reads * Buy a round of drinks Get full access to The Commonplace at thecommon.place/subscribe
