Open Seat: A Prayer Journal for Finding Hope is a simple tool to help you bring your worries to God, one prayer at a time. It’s not about perfect words, it’s about showing up as you are. Start with a conversation. God is always listening.

We would love to hear from you. Let us know what you’ve been wrestling with and we’d be happy to weigh in. Someone from the Take the Open Seat team will reach out to connect with you.

FROM OUR COMMUNITY

“Remember that you’re loved. There’s a lot of people that care about you. Your existence matters.”

“We’re all living a similar human experience. What you’re experiencing I guarantee you that out of the 8 billion other people on this earth... someone else is experiencing as well.”

"If you ever think that you are at your lowest and that God has left you, you just got to ask Him."
