A prayer book might seem an unlikely starting point for connections with professional athletes, music producers, and entertainment personalities. Yet Michael Feehan has pursued precisely that direction with Seven Prayers, a project born from his own experiences of hardship and faith.
Seven years after its beginnings in 2019, Seven Prayers is now available in digital and physical editions. The book documents seven prayers Feehan believes were answered during a difficult chapter of his life, with each presented in the sequence in which those answers occurred.
Alongside the publication, Feehan has developed associations across sport, music, and media, reflecting his interest in bringing a personal spiritual message into spaces that reach audiences beyond traditional faith communities.
The ambition is considerable, particularly for a project whose origins were deeply private.
An Unexpected Beginning
Before there were sponsorships or entertainment connections, Feehan was facing a personal crisis.
He describes 2019 as a period of extreme hardship, referring to the experience as “praying out of the lowest hell.”
Prayer became his response to those circumstances. From 2019 through 2023, he prayed day and night, believing that his circumstances could change through faith.
By the end of that period, Feehan says all seven prayers had been answered.
The experiences eventually became the foundation of Seven Prayers, which he describes as a lived, prayed, and answered prayer book.
Rather than presenting a collection of unrelated reflections, Feehan organized the material chronologically, following the order in which he believes each prayer was answered.
That approach gives the book a personal narrative structure. Its subject is faith, but its starting point is the experience of a man attempting to find his way through an exceptionally difficult period.
Bringing a Spiritual Message Into Popular Culture
As the project developed, Feehan began pursuing opportunities to establish the Seven Prayers name in settings where faith literature is not necessarily the central focus.
Among the milestones he identifies is a feature in Polo De Marco magazine alongside Michael Franzese, whose public profile spans organized crime history, business, and motivational speaking.
Feehan also cites sponsorship involvement with former NBA player Delonte West through BrandRisk Miami.
Another connection involves Australian heavyweight boxer Paul Gallen, whom Feehan identifies as part of his sponsorship activities.
These associations place the Seven Prayers name alongside individuals whose audiences are primarily connected to sport, entertainment, and personal achievement.
For a spiritual publication, the approach is unconventional but understandable. The themes of struggle, perseverance, and personal change frequently appear in the stories of professional athletes and public figures.
Feehan’s own account draws on similar experiences, although he interprets them through the lens of prayer.
Music as Another Expression of the Project
The Seven Prayers initiative also includes a connection with music producer Scott Storch, whom Feehan identifies as involved in creating a soundtrack for the project.
Storch is known for his work in popular music, making the association a notable element of Feehan’s plans.
A soundtrack introduces another way of presenting the Seven Prayers identity beyond the written page. Music can communicate emotion and atmosphere in ways that differ from a book’s narrative structure.
Details about the soundtrack’s release have not been provided, but its inclusion points to Feehan’s interest in developing the project across different creative formats.
Whether through music, sport, or publishing, the message he wants to communicate remains centered on his personal belief in prayer.
A Message Intended for Everyone
“Anyone can pray, and at one point everyone in their life will pray. Prayer is the most powerful weapon we have,” Feehan says.
His words reflect a belief that prayer is not confined to a particular sociRemove featured imageal setting or moment in life.
It is a conviction shaped by his experiences between 2019 and 2023, when he says prayer sustained him through adversity.
Feehan’s decision to share that account publicly opens the story to readers who may hold different religious beliefs or interpret his experiences differently.
For him, the purpose is to communicate what he believes prayer made possible in his own life.
The Next Stage for Seven Prayers
With the book now available for purchase, Feehan has reached the milestone that began taking shape seven years ago.
The connections he has pursued across entertainment and professional sports suggest that he sees Seven Prayers as a project with room to grow beyond publishing.
Its future reach will depend on how audiences respond to the book and the wider initiatives associated with it.
For now, the foundation remains a deeply personal story: seven prayers, four years of searching for answers, and a publication that took seven years to bring to market.
