You love God. You keep losing your place in your own prayers.

You have read the habit books. You have bought the planners, set the alarms, and put the Bible beside the coffee machine. Some weeks it works. Then life intervenes, and the old accusation arrives: if you really cared, you would manage this.

This book suggests that the problem was never your effort. With warmth, honesty and a little humor, it walks through prayer that wanders, emotions that go to ten, hormones nobody explained, marriage, motherhood, work and church, and it helps you build a spiritual and practical life that fits the mind you actually have.

Who this book is for

It is written for Christian women who live with ADHD, or who wonder if they might, and who want prayer, Scripture and everyday life to fit the mind they actually have. It speaks to wives, mothers, women at work and women who sit in church wondering why everyone else seems to cope.

What is inside

Nine chapters over 232 pages:

  • When ADHD Meets Faith
  • Prayer, Scripture and a Wandering Mind
  • The Emotional Weather Inside
  • Hormones Are Not a Footnote
  • Loving People with a Loud Brain

  • Work, Calling and the Fifteen Tabs
  • Church, Where Everyone Seems to Cope

Does this sound familiar?

Your mind is loud, and your faith never feels steady.

You start to pray, and you are already thinking about tomorrow’s list. You open your Bible, and ten minutes later you are somewhere else. Then comes the quiet question: what does this say about my faith?

  • My prayers keep wandering, and I feel like I’m failing.

    Chapter 2 treats returning as a form of prayer, and offers words to borrow when your own keep disappearing.

  • Everything goes to ten, and then I feel guilty about it.

    Chapter 3 looks at the emotional weather inside you, and at how God meets you in the weather you have.

  • Nobody ever explained what my hormones were doing.

    Chapter 4 covers the monthly cycle, postpartum and perimenopause, because hormones are not a footnote.

  • Everyone at church seems to cope.

    Chapter 8 is about the Sunday morning sprint, the good Christian woman mask, and finding your actual seat.

A quieter mind and a steadier faith do not start with trying harder. They start with understanding the brain God gave you.

PRAYER, SCRIPTURE AND A WANDERING MIND

Fifteen minutes later, her coffee is cold.

Her Bible is still open to the same page, and her journal contains a sentence that ends halfway through a thought. You will know the scene. Chapter two meets it with warmth, honesty and a little humor.

NINE CHAPTERS FOR REAL LIFE

Emotions, hormones, marriage, motherhood, work and church.

Each chapter takes one part of your life and looks at it with warmth and honesty: prayer and Scripture, emotions, hormones, relationships, motherhood, work and calling, church, and growing older.

In short

What this book offers

  • Prayer and Scripture for a wandering mind.
  • Honest chapters on emotions, hormones, marriage, motherhood, work and church.
  • Nine chapters and 232 pages, as an ebook (PDF + EPUB) or a printed softcover.
  • A note on care, and a page about the author.
ADHD and faith. Someone finally talks about both.
I've read books about ADHD before, but never one that connected it to my relationship with God. The part about feeling guilty for struggling with prayer really hit home.
