For the middle of the story

Waiting was written for the hardest part — where movement is slow and answers have not arrived. Its pages sit with people whose stories are full of longing, heartbreak, and promises that went a lifetime waiting to be fulfilled.

Morning by morning you will keep company with Sarah and Hagar, Hannah and Ruth, Jeremiah and Job — and watch God see, speak to, and care for the overlooked. The evenings answer with psalms of lament: honest words for the ache, prayed by people who felt it first.

Sarah & Hagar

Promises that took decades — and the God who saw them both.

Hannah & Ruth

Hope carried through empty years and foreign fields.

The laments

Jeremiah, Job and Psalms that don’t hide from hard truths.

The shape of a day

Each day is divided into Morning and Evening Prayer. No streaks, no pop-ups. Just a few moments of stillness to listen for the voice of God.

Morning Prayer

Opening Prayer

Confession

Two Lessons

Guided Prayers — from history, today, and your own heart

Evening Prayer

Psalms — echoing the morning’s themes

Wisdom — daily thoughts from classic Christian writers

Three ancient practices — Lectio Divina, the Examen, and the Jesus Prayer

Night blessings — final prayers before rest and sleep

“It is my prayer that in your quietest hours, you would find the love of God surrounding you, the resurrection of Jesus transforming you, and the friendship of the Spirit alive within you.”

— Andrew Osenga, creator of The Quiet Hours

Where the prayers come from

The Book of Common Prayer

Built on Thomas Cranmer’s five-hundred-year-old collection, written so ordinary people could share the church’s daily rhythm of prayer.

Voices across the centuries

Prayers from Christians across centuries and continents — St. Augustine, Thomas à Kempis, Julian of Norwich — and some written freshly for these books.

Scripture throughout

Old and New Testament lessons every morning, Psalms every evening, from the Christian Standard Bible.
