Since it’s the first Sunday of the month, we’ll be continuing the Bethany House Fiction tradition of taking time to pray for authors who have new releases coming out this month. I’m Amy Green, the fiction publicist here, and I’m thankful for all of the readers who show their support for our authors in the way that matters most: by praying for them. To read more about the reasons behind this time of prayer, go to this post.

Authors with Books Releasing in June:

Mary Connealy
Jody Hedlund
Delia Parr
Karen Witemeyer

Verse of the Month: Feel free to use the text of this verse to guide your prayers for these authors, as well as other people in your life who you want to remember in prayer today.

“Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.” —Psalm 25:4-5, NIV

General Suggestions for Prayer:

• For discernment in any major choices, whether career or personal.

• For a heart for readers that will give motivation to keep working even at difficult or tedious tasks.

• For the books releasing this month to inspire and challenge readers with the truth they contain.

As always, I’m so thankful to be part of a community of readers who take the time to pray for our authors. You all are such an encouragement to me!
