Pray With David
A Book Of 50 Prayers
by David A. Ford
These prayers are my spiritual journal of my journey through life. Having defeated cancer twice and watching my son go through his health challenges, speaking to God was my way of finding strength in the storm, hope in the unknown, and peace in the midst of pain.
Look Inside
The Book
When you think you're up against the world and may you need a spiritual helping hand to lift you up and into better days, try reading a few of my prayers to yourself or with others.
Through every trial, I have witnessed the power of faith, the quiet whispers of encouragement, the unwavering love that carried me when I could not walk on my own.
These words are more than prayers; they are the footprints of my soul’s journey, marking the moments when grace surrounded me, when healing felt impossible but arrived nonetheless. Having prayed with others and for others, I know these prayers may help you as well.

A Powerful Companion for the Soul
"Reading Pray with David felt like sitting in quiet conversation with a close friend who knows God’s heart and the weight of life’s burdens. Each of the 50 prayers in this book is thoughtfully written, honest, reflective, and deeply anchored in Scripture. What I love most is how the book invites you to show up as you are: sometimes weary, sometimes hopeful, sometimes confused, but always welcomed into God’s presence. The prayers don’t rush you. They meet you where you are and gently lift your gaze higher. This book has become a part of my morning rhythm, and there are pages I return to often when I don’t have the words myself. Pray with David is more than a devotional; it’s a doorway into intimacy with God. Highly recommended for anyone who needs real prayers for real life.
I bought three copies of the book, one for myself and my brothers: a great Father's Day gift or any special occasion." -- M.E.
A Friend’s Comfort at Any Time

I look forward to meditating on the meanings of each of his beautiful prayers as I move forward in my life." -- Jeannette S.

The words are eloquent yet relatable, offering comfort, guidance, and hope for those seeking a deeper connection with God.

Highly recommended!" -- Laticia
What an amazing set of inspiring prayers!
"What a beautifully written book of prayers by an absolutely wonderful author. The prayers are named and numbered to make it quick and easy to find just the right prayer during a time of need. But it’s also very inspiring to just read the book front to back. I would definitely strongly recommend this purchase for yourself, but even more importantly, give a copy to all your loved ones." -- Ron H.
Truly Inspirational
"From the Forward this book was an inspiration. Every prayer and thought is unique, I found everyone that I read had a voice that spoke directly to me. This book provides a spiritual uplifting for life’s circumstances in both good and challenging times. Definitely a daily resource and highly recommended." -- Wendell K.
