I was recently on an overnight family camping trip which gave me an opportunity to experience God’s beauty. I feel that sometimes a prompt for prayer can be something simple as your surroundings. I believe this book is a real gem and will be beneficial for everyones’ prayer life whether you’re new to the concept of prayer or you’re returning to God through prayer after a period of being away. While I was working through the book, I was reminded of St Therese of Lisieux. As I was reading through the chapter titled “Littleness: The Ultimate Prompt to Pray”, I came across St Therese of Lisieux. For me, this was a mic drop moment. God is always sending us prompts. Don’t be afraid to open your eyes and see what is around you.

The main strength of Prompt Me to Pray is that it offers anyone the chance to improve their prayer life. From the person who doesn’t pray at all to the person who is already praying throughout the day, McConkey offers us the opportunity to go deeper.
McConkey’s goal is to help the reader make a habit of praying more in a real, authentic, loving way. And with this down-to-earth but rich in Catholic teaching practical plan, it’s an accessible goal.
I appreciate the bite-sized steps to incorporating prayer into my daily life. The pocket prayers in the back are a bonus!
While I’ve enjoyed going through it on my own, I could see going through Prompt Me to Pray again with a small group of other mothers, sharing what works for us and providing positive accountability. Would make a great gift!

Truly a valuable resource to help someone in any stage or vocation in life, Prompt Me to Pray is a wonderful tool to help guide us in “praying without ceasing.” I’m so impressed by the wide variety and well thought out examples of looking for prompts to pray in literally any moment and circumstance of our days. The book contains just enough of the author’s personal examples, as well as connections to the Saints and Scripture, and then provides specific prompts and lists to make your own personal plan. That guidance is laid out in a user friendly fashion so that a reader could add more and more prompts to pray at their own pace and depth of application. I also really loved some of the resources in the back, such as the Prayer Starters to specific Names of God and the pocket prayers. The reflections really made me think about the opportunities to pray that I might waste throughout the day and how I can take better advantage of the reminders in front of me. I think my favorite section was on surrender and think that creating our own Litany of surrender could be a very powerful practice for all of us. Well done, Monica!

I’m really bad about prayer. I do pray before bed but during the day I just get so caught up in the day-to-day tasks! This book was so easy to navigate, and honestly just really cute. It actually made me WANT to take time out of my day to write in it! You can tell Monica put a lot of genuine time and effort into creating this. My favorite part is the colorful pocket prayers in the back of the book! 🙂
