Djarju ta’ Talb
(A Prayer Journal)
01 July, 2025
Flannery O’Connor’s A Prayer Journal reveals her private prayers and reflections as a young writer. She wrote it while studying at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop in her early twenties. In the journal, she asks God to help her grow in faith and become a good writer. She hopes her writing will serve God, not just bring her success. Her words are simple yet powerful, showing deep feeling and honesty. She openly admits her struggles with pride, doubt, and weakness. She wants to trust God more and follow His plan for her life. Although the journal is brief, it offers a rich view of her inner life. It also helps readers understand the faith behind her stories. In the end, it is a touching book about prayer, purpose, and belief in God.
This prayer journal has been published in Maltese by Preca Publications under the title Djarju ta’ Talb, and is available at Librerija Preca.
