Marjorie Holmes’s How Can I Find You, God? is a collection of deeply personal prayers, reflections, and meditations written in a simple, conversational style. Rather than formal theology, the book speaks in the voice of an ordinary person reaching out to God in the middle of daily life.
Holmes addresses God with honesty—sometimes in gratitude, sometimes in doubt, and often in longing—capturing the struggles of faith in the modern world. The prayers touch on universal human experiences such as:
- The search for meaning and connection with God.
- Gratitude for blessings, love, and beauty in everyday life.
- Wrestling with fear, loneliness, grief, and uncertainty.
- The desire for strength, patience, forgiveness, and guidance.
- Finding God not only in church, but in ordinary tasks, relationships, and quiet moments.
The tone is intimate and relatable, almost like a diary of conversations with God, making the reader feel invited to bring their own real-life feelings and struggles into prayer.
