Jesus longs for you to come close. Not just for answers or blessings, but to experience His peace—because He is the only one who can calm us, strengthen us, and give us the perspective we need. Join New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst as she shares powerful prayers, devotional teachings, and practical ways to draw near to the Lord.

Come Close to Jesus is filled with prewritten prayers to help still your thoughts, calm your heart, and find guidance in times of need—but most important, to help you spend time with the Saviour who loves you more than you can imagine. Whether you struggle with getting distracted during your quiet time, finding the “right” words to say, or bringing your honest thoughts to the Lord, this book was created specifically to help you connect with Him on a deeper level.

Through these pages, Lysa shares her personal journey in growing her prayer life both through seeking the Lord diligently and walking through hard seasons with Him. In Come Close to Jesus, you’ll receive:

  • Lysa’s reflections and devotional teachings on prayer
  • Her own guided prayers for you to follow
  • Scriptural prayers for specific relationships and situations
  • Bible verses to teach and encourage you
  • “Prayer in Action” steps to help you pray and incorporate this wisdom into your daily life

Come Close to Jesus makes a beautiful gift for:

  • Friends and family who want to deepen their prayer lives
  • People experiencing times of struggle or anxiety
  • Fans and followers of Proverbs 31 Ministries and Lysa TerKeurst

God is not disappointed in you because your prayers haven’t been more consistent or elaborate. He simply wants you to place more and more of your life into His very capable hands.
