Feelings are messy, and we all have different strategies to deal with them--usually shutting them down or letting them run amok. But what if emotions weren't our enemy but instead, a gift?
With a collection of prayers and liturgies to give you voice for every emotion, spiritual director Anjuli Paschall shows that feelings aren't a hindrance to the abundant life, but a pathway to it. Aided by 26 beautiful illustrations, Anjuli gives you language to pray through the six core emotions and the 75 most common feelings you experience, inviting you on a journey to
- identify and stay present with your feelings
- recognize your temptations and powerfully manage them
- wake up to the gentle presence of God and where He is in the situation
- discern how you're being invited into love and move toward it
Instead of navigating around your feelings, you can use them as a path to prayer, healing, wholeness, and abiding connection with God that you long for.

Your emotions are not your enemy. They are a gift.
Feelings are messy, and we all have different strategies to deal with them--usually controlling, avoiding, or indulging them. But what if you allowed yourself to follow your feelings in prayer instead of trying to run from them?
In this beautifully illustrated collection of prayers and liturgies, spiritual director Anjuli Paschall helps you move from being stuck in your feelings to a place of peace by
- identifying and giving you words for every emotion--the good, the confusing, and the complicated--helping you name exactly what you feel
- offering you 75 prayers to pray--one for every feeling
- providing Scripture for every emotion
Feel is a resource to guide you throughout your day and offer you hope, wisdom, and courage through some of the most challenging seasons of your life. Instead of navigating around your feelings, allow them to guide you toward healing, wholeness, and abiding connection with God. And then, you will begin to see how feelings are a doorway into intimacy with a Savior who loves you.
