Greetings!

Greetings! I’m Christen Jeschke, one of the co-creators of the Rescue Prayers collection. On behalf of our entire team, I want to express how grateful we are that you found us. We believe that God led you here!

There have been many times in my life when I encountered devastating situations that seemed impossible to handle—or even to process. In deep distress, I wept, begged, demanded, pleaded, and called on the Lord to intervene or deliver me. He always met me in my pain. He never scolded me for pouring out my raw emotions but instead pulled me closer to His heart. In my cries of sorrow, He brought calm and comfort. He gave me supernatural peace and reminded me of all the times He had been faithful in the past.

In these moments of turmoil, my eyes were lifted as God spoke to my heart. Instead of seeing a problem too big to handle, He revealed a God far greater than the problem. My God can silence stormy seas with a word and breathe life into that which was dying. My God moves mountains and makes a way where there is no way. My God heals and restores. My God does the impossible and delights in the miraculous—and He is already working in your situation.

In the one true Almighty God, there is always victory. As you pray these Rescue Prayers, I hope you will find a safe space to lament and cry out to God, even as your heart is turned to know the rescue of His love and character. May your cries of sorrow be turned to praise as you declare God’s goodness with great strength and certainty.

Each Rescue Prayer has been written in three parts: a lament or cry, a reminder of God’s character, and a recognition or praise for what He will do in your situation. Modeled after the Psalms of King David, I hope that through the Holy Spirit, these prayers speak promise and peace into your situation. These thirty days of Rescue Prayers can be utilized daily or topically to address the precise challenge you are experiencing. The Lord will work in your circumstances!

May God forever be your anchor and rescue!
