Pilgrim Prayers for the Journey Home - Revised and Expanded Edition

A Devotional Journey with the Psalms of Ascent

"I lift up my eyes to the hills-where does my help come from?"
-Psalm 121:1

For centuries, pilgrims have sung the Psalms of Ascent-fifteen ancient songs (Psalms 120-134) woven with longing, lament, hope, and praise. These were the prayers of ordinary people journeying toward Jerusalem: young and old, faithful and faltering, walking together toward the place of God's presence.

This revised and expanded edition of Pilgrim Prayers for the Journey Home invites you to walk that same path with fresh eyes. Whether you are rooted in tradition or finding your way back to faith, this book offers daily prayers, paraphrased psalms, reflections, and simple practices that honour the sacredness of the journey.

Each devotion includes:

- A moment of silence and centering prayer
- The Psalm (CEB translation and a poetic paraphrase)
- A reflective meditation grounded in life and Scripture
- Contemplative questions for deeper soul-work
- A simple pilgrim practice to embody the day's theme
- A closing collect (short prayer) to carry with you

Written in the midst of personal upheaval and rediscovery, this book is for all who walk the road of faith with honesty-sometimes stumbling, sometimes soaring, but always returning to the God who journeys with us.

Ideal for:

• Daily prayer or personal retreats

• Lenten or seasonal reflection

• Small groups and spiritual companions

• Anyone longing to reconnect with God through the Psalms

Come as you are.
There is no need to arrive-only to keep walking.
