Some books are meant to be read. Others are meant to be felt. Show Me To The Gates by Evangelist Lynn Carol Ingram is one of those books. This isn’t your typical devotional—it’s a spiritual reset button. A prayer guide, a love letter to God, and a lifeline for those standing at the edge of burnout, confusion, or doubt. It’s gentle, but don’t be fooled—it hits deep. It calls you to pray, confess, and believe again, even when life is doing the most.
If you’ve ever felt stuck—spiritually dry, emotionally drained, just… off—this book meets you there. And then it walks you back to the throne of grace, one prayer at a time. It’s easy to follow, written with heart, and drenched in scripture. What stands out most? It’s raw. It’s honest. And it’s for anyone who needs help saying, “Lord, I need you.”
“Lord I’m messed up! I really need you right now to touch me, show me how to live this thing called life! I am not happy with the way I am, teach me, show me how to love unconditionally, show me what I’m doing wrong?”
— Show Me To The Gates, p.37
Prayers That Pull You Through
Show Me To The Gates is more than a devotional—it’s a journey. From page one, Evangelist Ingram invites you to speak with God honestly, without trying to sound perfect or polished. And that’s the point. Each page brings a prayer, a scripture, or a prompt that reminds you of your value, your identity, and God’s unwavering presence—even on your worst days.
There’s a flow here. You start with prayers of confession and gratitude, easing into healing, purpose, and finally, restoration. You’ll find prayers written in the thick of 2020’s chaos, raw thoughts on pain and growth, and bold declarations over your life and family. Each entry feels like a spiritual conversation—like someone kneeling beside you, holding your hand, and praying out loud what your heart is too tired to say.
What makes this book powerful is its accessibility. It doesn’t require theological training or church lingo. It’s real, it’s heartfelt, and it’s written for those who just need to start somewhere. Whether you’ve walked with God for decades or you’re just trying to figure this faith thing out, these pages are a gentle nudge to reconnect.
This part hits different. It’s where the prayer shifts from casual to consecrated.
“I thank you for your divine covering as I sit in your presence; as your anointing pours out upon me, as I obtain knowledge, wisdom, strength, and change. Lord I thank you in advance for what I am about to experience. For I will never be the same!”
Here, the tone locks in. This is where it goes from devotional to divine encounter.
