From the Author
Over the course of compiling inspirational books such as GRACES and BEDSIDE PRAYERS, I realized I would love to have an inspiring prayer to set on my desk or carry in my pocket that would lend a new perspective to the day. The POCKET PRAYERS deck can be used serendipitously (by picking a card at random) or methodically (by intentionally taking one card each day in order). The card deck has been designed for either use.

Here are some ways you can use POCKET PRAYERS: 1) Choose a card to meditate on before bedtime and then place it on your bedside table. 2) Pack the deck in your suitcase and take it with you on a trip. 3) Place POCKET PRAYERS on your coffee table or in the kitchen and pick a card at random for inspiration throughout the day. 4) Enclose a card in a letter that you send to a friend who would appreciate the encouragement or inspiration of a pocket prayer. 5) Put a particularly meaningful card in your wallet, purse, briefcase, or lunch box. 6) If you are feeling anxious about a significant task, or if you desire extra comfort during an important event, carry a prayer in your pocket!

I've attempted to select exuberant and poetic prayers. I've also tried to choose prayers that people of all faiths will appreciate and that will leave one with the feeling of a connection with something greater than oneself. Through the simple act of prayer, we can unite over that which we have in common rather than fighting over our differences. I sincerely believe this will eventually lead to more harmony.

After all, prayer is not limited to one religion or ethnicity - it is limitless in its ability to expand our world and unite all. -June Cotner

June Cotner produces a blessing!
June Cotner has introduced a wonderful blessing!

Just recently, my pastor spoke about giving "your first and best to God." Included in this were the first words and thoughts of our day. Now, I don't know about you, but I'm not my most pleasant in the morning. Because of that, I needed a little help. Thankfully, I received a complimentary "Pocket Prayers" from Ms. June Cotner.

In "Pocket Prayers", Ms. Cotner has collected 36 prayers (some poetry, some sayings) and printed one on each card. They are great for coffee tables (for others to inquire), as well as gifts and for myself, my first thought of the day. I leave my pocket prayers on the side of my bed and as I get up in the morning, I shuffle the deck and pull one. The words give me focus for the day and a chance to praise God as my first act of the morning.

Being a Christian, I use the words on each card as Christian inspiration, however, the poetry Ms. Cotner has chosen for "Pocket Prayers" is not Christian scripture. Instead, the words of expression can be utilized in any belief system the reader may hold. The messages are about positive progression and the chrysalises of the human spirit struggling to emerge itself from the storms of life. In the tumultuous world in which we live, the words of encouragement are refreshing and fulfilling.

I highly urge you to order a deck for yourself. Furthermore, as I judge the extraordinary expressions Ms. Cotner chose to portray in "Pocket Prayers", I plan to order some of her other books, but this time on my own dime!
