Lutheran Book of Prayer, Fifth Edition

A trusted Lutheran prayer companion for every season of life, rooted in Scripture and centered on Christ's forgiving mercy.

Prayer gives voice to faith in every season: at morning and evening, before worship, beside a sickbed, at the family table, and in the ordinary callings of home and work. Whether bringing joys, burdens, questions, or concerns before God, Christians are invited to pray with confidence, trusting His promise to hear them for the sake of Jesus Christ.

Rooted in Scripture and shaped by Luther's Small Catechism, the Lutheran Confessions, historic hymnody, and the church's liturgical life, Lutheran Book of Prayer encourages a life of faithful prayer grounded not in human worthiness but in God's grace. Its prayers lead readers from honest confession of sin and need to the sure comfort of Christ's atoning death, forgiveness, and salvation.

Inside this hardback edition, you'll find:

• Daily morning and evening prayers to establish a faithful rhythm of devotion
• Scriptural prayers for home, work, worship, and service to others
• Encouragement and comfort for seasons of suffering, illness, grief, and uncertainty
• Prayers and readings that follow the Church Year and proclaim Christ's saving work
• Psalms, Creeds, and other treasured texts that nurture faith and deepen meditation
• Guidance for Christian living shaped by worship, vocation, and the gifts of God's grace

More than a collection of prayers, Lutheran Book of Prayer is a lifelong companion for Christian devotion. Organized for use throughout the year and across every stage of life, it provides prayers for family milestones, daily vocations, times of crisis, and the ordinary moments of faithful living.

Speaking honestly to the realities of sin, fear, suffering, temptation, and death, Lutheran Book of Prayer continually directs readers to the saving work of Jesus Christ and the comfort of God's promises. Whether used for daily devotion, family prayer, personal study, or support during difficult seasons, this trusted resource helps Christians grow in prayer, receive the comfort of God's Word, and find lasting hope in Christ's mercy.
