Prayers In the 2020s

Prayers in the 2020s is a prayer booklet composed by the compilation of prayers by Rev.

Edward Solano and Rev. Ashton Dupler throughout the years 2020 and 2021. These are a collection of both their own personal prayers and the prayers of their communities.

Each prayer was born from deep reflection on scripture and world events, was categorized according to different statements from the Lord's Prayer, and was carefully intended to be a faithful expression of a prayer-full life.

In the process, they also invited Edward Steffanni and Nadia Volpini, two local illustrators from Ohio, to make visual representations for a few of these.

The product of this prayerful and intentional work is this book: Prayers in the 2020s.

It is an account of the deepest concerns of two ministers and their communities at the beginning of the decade starting with the year 2020.The significance of this book arises when its readers are faced with the daunting question: "How should I pray?" There is no simple answer to this question.

But readers can use these prayers as companions during their spiritual journey and prayer life.

They can pray these prayers, perhaps not as substitutes for their own personal prayers, but as partners in their conversation with God.

As you read this book, the authors and illustrators invite you to be constant in prayer.

Pray brave and valiant prayers. Pray intentional and meaningful prayers. And pray open and vulnerable prayers. Because the God who is our Father, Lord, and Spirit, is still listening and responding to our deepest concerns.
