Pray the Word is a journal designed to help you pray intentionally every day of the year. Sometimes it’s hard to know what to pray, who to pray for, or even how to pray. The Bible is a great guide for us when we’re struggling in our prayer lives. It perfectly explains prayer in 1 Timothy 2:1, “First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgiving, be made on behalf of all men.”
One of the best ways to pray is to let God’s Word lead you. When we pray God’s Word back to Him, we are taking His Word and praying it over our lives, our children and families, or even our situations, trials, and issues in life. We pray the Word because it is one way we can be sure we are praying God’s will. As we read God’s Word and let it soak into our hearts and minds, it becomes valuable to us. We will become more sensitive to the Holy Spirit and find it easier to plead with the Lord in prayer for our loved ones.
With just one page a day, you can practice praying the Word over anyone you choose, even yourself! Each day starts by reading a focus passage of Scripture. Also included is a guided prayer unique to each passage, that you can customize by entering the name of someone you want to pray over. You then have an opportunity to write your own prayers, entreaties, petitions, and thanksgiving for the day. These prayers will be a joy to look back on as you count your blessings day by day and remember how the Lord answered the prayers you wrote down over the past months!
