There are moments when people exhaust every solution they know and begin searching for answers somewhere else. For some, that search leads to faith. For Michael Feehan, it became the beginning of a seven year journey that would eventually produce Seven Prayers, a book documenting his experiences with hardship, prayer, and personal change.
The project began in 2019, during a period Feehan describes as the lowest point of his life. What followed was an intensely personal commitment to prayer, one he maintained through 2023. He believes seven prayers were answered during those years, experiences that would ultimately form the foundation of his book.
Now available in digital and physical formats, Seven Prayers represents the culmination of a journey Feehan initially undertook without knowing where it would lead.
When Prayer Becomes a Personal Lifeline
Feehan does not describe the beginning of his story in gentle terms. He recalls the experience as “praying out of the lowest hell,” a phrase that suggests how difficult life had become when he first turned to prayer.
Beginning in 2019, he prayed day and night, searching for answers to circumstances that had left him struggling.
There was no immediate resolution. His journey continued over several years, requiring the kind of patience that is difficult to maintain when the outcome remains uncertain.
By 2023, Feehan believed all seven prayers had been answered.
Those experiences changed the way he understood the role of faith in his life. Rather than keeping them private, he decided to document what had happened and share the story with others.
The resulting book follows the sequence in which Feehan believes his prayers were answered, preserving the chronology of his experiences.
For readers, that structure offers a way to understand the progression of his journey rather than encountering seven disconnected spiritual reflections.
A Personal Account Rather Than a Promise
Faith is deeply personal, and accounts of answered prayers can carry different meanings depending on the reader’s beliefs and experiences.
Feehan approaches the subject through testimony. He describes Seven Prayers as a lived, prayed, and answered prayer book, emphasizing that its contents come from events he personally experienced.
His conviction is expressed in a statement that captures the central philosophy behind the project.
“Anyone can pray, and at one point everyone in their life will pray. Prayer is the most powerful weapon we have,” Feehan says.
The message is direct. He believes prayer is accessible to anyone, particularly during periods when life feels overwhelming.
His book does not establish that every difficult circumstance will resolve through prayer. Instead, it documents how Feehan interpreted the changes in his own life and the significance he attached to them.
That distinction allows the story to be considered as an individual experience of faith, even by readers whose beliefs may differ from his.
Taking Seven Prayers Into the Public Eye
As the book developed, Feehan began building connections that could introduce the Seven Prayers name to wider audiences.
He cites a feature in Polo De Marco magazine alongside Michael Franzese, as well as sponsorship involvement with former NBA player Delonte West through BrandRisk Miami and Australian heavyweight boxer Paul Gallen.
Feehan also identifies music producer Scott Storch as part of an effort to create a soundtrack for Seven Prayers.
These activities reflect an ambition to extend the project’s reach into entertainment, music, and professional sports.
The connections are notable because they bring a spiritual message into settings where audiences may be more familiar with athletic achievement or popular culture than religious publishing.
Yet the book remains the central expression of Feehan’s experience. The public associations came later, after the years of prayer that gave the project its meaning.
Seven Years From Hardship to Publication
The release of Seven Prayers marks a significant change in Feehan’s relationship with his own story.
What began as a private response to hardship is now available for others to read and interpret. The experiences that once belonged entirely to him have become the basis of a published work.
Feehan hopes readers will find encouragement in his account, particularly those facing circumstances that seem unlikely to improve.
Seven years after he began praying through one of the hardest periods of his life, he has brought those experiences together in a book.
For Feehan, its publication is another meaningful chapter in a story that began with a simple decision to pray.
