Praying God’s Promises: The Life-Changing Power of Praying the Scriptures by Linda Evans Shepherd
I liked reading the introduction from the author and her personal story how prayer and scripture helped her during a trip. I truly believe this is the case, however, I feel that there has to be an element of faith and belief-not just reading a scripture and praying. Sometimes our prayers are not answered right away or burdens lifted quickly if at all; but constant prayer and scripture reading will help us be accepting of our life journey and experiences.
Each chapter includes stories, insight, scriptures and “I agree” sentences. The chapters include things like faith, blessings, troubles, peace, protection, etc. There are 27 total chapters. This would make a great gift or scripture study companion book.
I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
About the Book:
The Scriptures tell us that when we pray the will of God, he delights to answer our prayers. But what is God’s will in any given situation? How can we know it? And if we don’t know it, how can we pray it?
