He did it with Hosea. He did it with Paul. He is doing it with Stacey Thacker. Over the last few years I have watched her absolutely refuse to stop clinging to Christ in the midst of a deluge of hard things. The words in this book are hard-won. They are hard-lived. These prayers have been prayed so many times...but the beauty of threadbare prayers is that they never, ever wear out...even when we do. I’m so grateful to Stacey, and the entire Thacker family, for allowing us to see Jesus in them.” –Brooke McGlothlin, co-founder of millionprayingmoms.com, and author of Praying for Boys: Asking God for the Things They Need Most "I was deeply moved reading Threadbare Prayer. Moved in my core from page one, with burning tears, and then into comfort and truth of Jesus. Page after page, prayer after prayer, reminded me to lift my eyes from my struggle to The One who saves.

Dreams that slip away hurt like crazy. The pain is real. Sometimes we have to pull ourselves together and cheer others on as they go for the prize we were hoping to capture. Life doesn''t always go the way we want; we have to decide in these defining moments if we are going to crumble or not. One year ago, I was definitely not OK with where I was. Something I had been working on fell through my fingertips in the form of a short email. I was devastated. God invited me to take a journey with Him and begin writing from this broken place. I said yes and He met me in the middle of it and showed me "Being Ok with Where You Are" is a process. This is my story of admitting disappointment, letting go, standing on the promises, and finally living a life of thankfulness and worship.
