Come Close to Jesus What to Pray When You Need the Lord to Still Your Thoughts, Calm Your Heart, and Guide Your Way (50 Devotional Prayers) by Lysa TerKeurst - Thomas Nelson and Zondervan Gift

 Come Close to Jesus What to Pray When You Need the Lord to Still Your Thoughts, Calm Your Heart, and Guide Your Way (50 Devotional Prayers) by Lysa TerKeurst - Thomas Nelson and Zondervan Gift 

Pub Date Mar 31 2026

In the last few years, I’ve been recommending Lysa’s books a lot. She is incredibly understanding of difficult topics that are not very openly talked about in traditional Christian circles—such as divorce, deep emotional betrayal, and boundary setting. When you are healing from battles of that size, your body and mind are completely tired, making these short, simple reads absolutely necessary for survival.

Come Close to Jesus is a deeply restorative, objective prayer tool designed for those whose minds are too exhausted to formulate their own words to God. Rather than acting as a dense theological study, this book provides 50 beautifully pre-written devotional prayers paired with stabilizing scripture. It targets the specific mental chaos, anxiety, and deep exhaustion that follow life's heaviest, unglamorous trials.

Tactical Support for Spiritual Exhaustion The book bypasses superficial, generic religious advice to act as a practical first-aid kit for prayer blocks: 

• The "Right Words" Solution: Recognizing that pain often causes people to go completely silent, the book provides ready-made, scripture-backed prayers to bridge the gap during periods of intense grief or mental panic. 
• Prayer in Action: Every entry includes guided reflections and actionable steps to gently ground a wandering, stressed mind back into the present moment. 
• Connection to Past Works: While her previous bestsellers like Forgiving What You Can't Forget and Good Boundaries and Goodbyes explored the messy, painful mechanics of trauma, heartbreak, and setting relationships right, Come Close to Jesus serves as the quiet, practical resting place after those battles are fought.

A veces todos necesitamos un bálsamo directo al corazón, sobre todo cuando estamos atravesando una pérdida o un dolor profundo.

Lo que hace que este devocional de 365 días sea tan humano y real es que la autora no escribe desde una teoría fría, sino desde las trincheras de su propio dolor tras perder trágicamente a su joven esposo (¿horrible no? si tienes una amiga que ya pasó por esto, has visto lo terrible que es, Dios les abrace, si leen esto, recuerden que las quiero).

En lugar de ofrecer clichés religiosos vacíos o prisa por sanar, Mattie valida la fragilidad humana y la neblina mental que acompaña al duelo con lecturas cortas de una sola página, ideales para los días en que apenas tienes fuerzas para levantar la cabeza. 

En el libro encontrarás

• Lecturas breves y directas: Pensadas para cuando el dolor satura la mente y no puedes concentrarte en textos largos.
• Enfoque en cuatro prácticas reales: Te guía de forma práctica a llorar/lamentar profundamente, conectar con otros, adorar con honestidad y aferrarte a la esperanza.
• Perspectiva basada en la fe: Ofrece un refugio espiritual lleno de escrituras y oraciones sinceras sin presiones de tiempo.

Es un compañero de viaje honesto, tierno y sumamente empático que te recuerda, día a día, que está bien llorar y que no estás solo en el valle. Aunque a veces así se sienta...

La mayoría de los que conozco están interesados en Anne of Green Gables solo por la serie de Netflix ... Si lo pienso, me alegra que algunas personas al menos hayan comenzado a leer porque vieron una película o serie, pero también me entristece que una persona piense que el libro es el mismo que la serie. En este caso, encontré en la serie contenido "moderno" extra fusionado con el del libro, este tipo de contenidos "progresivos" quiere ser incluido en las mentes jóvenes y será al parecer la norma en todo el entretenimiento de aquí en delante, no debería sorprenderme, ya que sucede tanto hoy en día, solo estoy triste por los niños que aún no son capaces de discernir y son adoctrinados de manera sutil. Me pregunto si incluso los adultos notan estos cambios. De todos modos, sobre este libro en particular de devocionales, espero que te animen a hacer lo mismo con todo, en ser intencional en sacar lo precioso de lo vil, que te quedes con todas las hermosas enseñanzas. La autora de este devocional se tomó el tiempo para tomar algunas de esas enseñanzas y hacer una compañía para tu devocional si quieres hablar y enseñar diferentes temas. con las mentes jóvenes a tu alrededor. Espero terminarlo pronto.

Everyone I know is interested in Anne of Green Gables just for the Netflix series... If I think about It it makes me happy that some people at least started reading because they saw a movie or series, but it makes me sad a person thinks the book is the same as the series. In this case, I found a lovely content merged with progressive cultural content that wants to be included in young minds, I shouldn´t be surprised, since it happens all the time nowadays, I´m just sad about all the gils out there who are not able to discern yet and are indoctrinated in subtle ways. I wonder if even adults notice these changes. Anyway, about the book I hope you read and keep with you just all the beautiful teachings, the author of this devotional took the time to take some of those teachings and make a great company for your devotional if you want to talk and teach different topics with the young minds around you. Enjoy.
