The Beauty of Written Prayers and Liturgies with Kayla Craig
The Daily Grace Podcast
I Don't Have the Words
"i ended up being gifted a small book of very short prayers, and i felt like those were a life line for me. Eh, i didn't feel like i had the words myself," she says. "Knowing that there was somebody else, some you know, brother and sister in christ that said, you know, you don't have the words here. Take mine."
Liturgy. You may have heard this word before. Maybe you’ve been to a liturgical service where the congregation followed a particular order of events. Or maybe your church incorporates liturgical prayers where everyone says a written prayer out loud together. Or maybe you’ve seen some written prayers on Instagram. Kayla Craig is a beautiful voice on many different platforms, and she offers wonderful modern liturgies for parents. Her handle is @liturgiesforparents and she also wrote a book called To Light Their Way: A Collection of Prayers and Liturgies for Parents. But this conversation isn’t just for parents. We talk about liturgies in general and how we can embrace them in our day to day lives. We really do think this conversation will be edifying no matter what season of life you’re in!
