As a young girl, I leaned to pray - as many of us do - by memorizing and reciting the prayers of my faith. As my faith has grown and my knowledge of God has deepened, however, so has my desire to have a more intimate relationship with Him. One of the most challenging parts of my spiritual journey over the years has been cultivating a rich prayer life. One key that has helped me tremendously in this area is learning how to pray from Scripture. If you are unfamiliar with this concept, Pray The Scriptures - A 40-Day Prayer Experience by Kevin Johnson can help get you started! Think of this book as a combination devotional, prayer workbook, journal and discussion guide! Pray The Scriptures opens with a brief introduction that describes what it means to pray from scripture. The focus of the book is the 40 daily readings, which are structured as follows: * The Daily Devotional * The Daily Scripture Passage * Writing, Journaling, and Prayer Prompts * Reflect + Pray + Discuss Questions The Daily Scripture Passages are taken from various Bible translations. The devotional topics cover various aspects of the Christian faith. I love the concept and structure of Pray The Scriptures because the book encourages us to interact with Scripture and God in a way many of us are not accustomed to. I think this is especially important for those who are new to the faith or trying to deepen their prayer life. I appreciate the book's flexible format. While most people will use this book for personal devotions, you could just as easily use it for small prayer or study groups. I think this would make a good devotional for new Christians who want to deepen their prayer lives as well. This review was written by and originally published at Create With Joy.

The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own. Pray the Scriptures is a 40-day prayer experience for readers hoping to energize their prayer life and draw closer to God through his every word. Using familiar passages of Scripture, the author guides the reader in the process of selecting and praying back to God the words of the text as they apply to the reader's life and circumstances. Shows how to include scripture into our prayers, making our prayers more powerful. This is an excellent book. Assists in praying strategically and very specifically! I've prayed prayers for my son; however, these prayers touch every aspect of a person's life. The prayers are powerful. It is a wonderful guide to covering your children in prayer daily. Kevin Johnson's prayer book has seen me through a lot of difficulties in my Christian walk. The prayers lead me through to God especially when I no longer have words. I recommend all of her books to break bondage over your life no matter what area you need it in. I am inspired by his words of wisdom. I recommend this book to any parent that may be questioning themselves and that is looking to pray for his/her self or family. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Pray The Scriptures is a 40 day guide that takes the reader into intentional prayer by using scripture and personal reflection to begin and maintain a conversation with God. The scripture choices reveal the nature of God’s love, mercy and grace while exposing the needs and hurts of the reader. While each day consists of just a few pages and questions, the material provides a penetrating experience for the reader. And the reader really is in charge of how much time to invest. I have been using the guide for several weeks and have found it to be challenging and enlightening. God’s word really is the perfect way to learn more about God and to go deeper with HIm.
So if you are looking for a fresh start in your quiet time or want to grow closer in your relationship with God, check out Pray The Scriptures.
Highly Recommended.
