If you are holding this book in your hands, hoping and praying that somehow it helps you through this extremely difficult time in your life, let me first and foremost express my sincere condolences to you on the loss of your precious little one. I know all too well the depths of this pain, and I too, pray that through this book, the Holy Spirit will lift you up, hold you, and comfort you during this time.
Praise and Prayer: A Devotional for Miscarriage was written to offer hope and encouragement as you go through this season. In this fourteen-day devotional, I share about my own journey of experiencing firsthand just how painful it is to walk through miscarriage. I truly hope the pages of this book will help you to know that you are not alone and that Jesus is there to hold you and carry you through this time if you will allow Him to.
Will this devotional magically make your pain disappear? No way. Nothing I do or say can change your circumstances, but I know the One who can.
As you go through this journey, remember that with God, we can have joy even in the midst of our deepest sorrow. He brings healing to our brokenness, beauty into our circumstances, and hope in our desperation.
Reviews
This beautiful book was written as a devotional, but I read it from cover to cover because I couldn’t put it down. This book not only offers hope and encouragement for those that have suffered miscarriage, but also for anyone that has suffered loss of any kind, or for anyone who is going through a trial. There are so many things in this life that we don’t understand. During these difficult times we must lean on God; trust in Him. In this short, but powerful devotional, Janessa shares many scriptures from which we can draw strength. She also shares beautiful lyrics that she personally wrote that has helped her through this most difficult time of her life. You WILL be BLESSED upon reading Praise & Prayer.

This devotional was written focused on miscarriage but honestly it’s a really great read for anyone dealing with loss and grief. Praise & Prayer is beautifully written and it offers words of encouragement and understanding from Janessa’s personal experience, Bible verses offering hope, peace, comfort and healing as well as prayers for each day.

This book is excellent for anyone going through a miscarriage or a sudden loss of a loved one. Janessa shares her experience of miscarriage with uplifting scriptures and poems and songs that she composed. She shares how her faith and the support of her husband and family lifted her spirits.

This is a well-written and comforting guide through the grief process of miscarriage. Having experienced this same loss myself years ago, and then two of my daughters and one son go through “blind-siding,” heart-wrenching experience more recently, I so appreciate how the author provides gentle yet truthful encouragement. She tactfully covers every needed topic–the same things I felt, the same questions I asked and more. She encourages the reader to do the things that will help us truly heal, even while admitting how hard this can be, and points us back to the One who hears us, loves us, and is always good even in the midst of our pain and our cries to understand why. Lastly, she assists us in our journey by sharing daily prayers and with her beautiful included poems and song lyrics. These and the daily scripture verses become even more vehicles to help, if we will let them, carry us through, always pointing us back to faith, trust and the ultimate, ongoing and unending love of God. A must for those grieving this truly difficult loss.
— J. Howard
This book isn’t just for those that have had miscarriages, although it was written about that. If you have had any kind of loss or grief or pain this book is something you need to read. It is written with prayer and biblical truths and will help you overcome anything you face with God’s help. Very well worth your time and hard to put down once you start reading it.
