My thoughts on The Reasons I Pray

The Reasons I Pray by Deberann Tinson is a beautiful, inspiring guide that refreshes the soul. Tinson doesn’t just teach about prayer—she invites you into it. Her words are genuine and approachable, making you feel like you’re sitting across from a wise friend who truly cares about your spiritual journey.

Deberann explains prayer as an ongoing, active relationship with God, not a task or ritual. Through personal experience and Biblical truth, she encourages readers to deepen their faith, listen for God's direction, and even build a prayer ministry that impacts others. I especially appreciated how practical the advice is without ever feeling preachy or overwhelming.

Tinson’s passion for prayer shines through every page. Whether you’re just starting to explore prayer or have been walking with God for years, this book offers something powerful. It challenges, comforts, and stirs up a renewed hunger to connect with God on a daily basis.

If you’re looking for a heartfelt, scripture-rooted book to help you grow stronger in prayer and purpose, I can’t recommend The Reasons I Pray enough.

I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.

Guest Post from Deberann Tinson, author of The Reasons I Pray

The Simplicity of Prayer

Start right where you are. You don’t need the perfect setting, the right words, or a flawless track record to pray. God meets you in the middle of your mess, in your silence, in your tears, and even in your doubt. One word— “help,” “thank you,” “Jesus”—is enough to open the door to His presence. One moment, however small, is enough to begin again. Whether you’re in a quiet room or surrounded by chaos, prayer is your sacred space, and it begins with simply showing up.

One breath at a time, He’s listening. God isn’t distant or disinterested—He’s near, leaning in, ready to comfort, guide, and restore. Don’t disqualify yourself because of inconsistency or shame. You are still His beloved, and He’s not letting go. Your efforts, however small, are seen. Your heart, however heavy, is held. Keep coming. Keep breathing. Keep praying. Grace meets you every time.

When that guilty thought rushes in, you know that thought that you haven’t spent enough hours in prayer, or that you’re not praying like sister so-and-so, or even if you forgot to pray two days in a row, reject that thought… immediately. God is not looking for your perfection. He just longs for your heart. Be kind to yourself. Just because you missed it doesn’t mean you fail; it means you are human. The goal is to progress, not perfection. Make sure you surround yourself with encouragement, whether from a friend, a devotional, or a sticky note on the mirror that reminds you that God absolutely loves you and wants you, not your rituals.
