Praying Through Scripture: NIV - A Woman's Journal - A 6 Month Guide to Prayer and Scripture Memorization

I am only a few days into using this book but finding so many things to appreciate about it. As the author mentions in the first few pages, I can see many ways to use this format. Her suggestions are great! What has worked personally for me (a rambling sort of journaler) is to use this book for guided prayer and notes before I write my prayers in my composition notebook. Being able to jot notes on the pages is an excellent reminder of things I know I need to pray about, but often forget in practice. I tend to get caught up in prayers for the urgent or immediate needs of my own. The repeated categories of this journal don't replace my personal prayers, but they serve me as a guide to make sure I am praying for so many areas that are vital but often overlooked in prayer. Also, by using Bible verses to guide prayer, the book helps ensure that I am praying God's will. I can see that the book will be helpful even after I have filled every page, because I will be able to look back and see places that God has answered prayers, and can even go back through each section and keep on praying for those items still needing an answer. I REALLY love the scripture memory help at the bottom of each column. What a lovely practice to combine prayer and scripture memory to anchor the Scripture in my mind and in my heart!

This prayer journal has been such a blessing for me since I began using it to organize my time with the Lord. It is a great way to keep track of all the different prayer needs that God puts on my heart and brings to my mind. The breakdown of categories reminds me to pray for people and situations I might not have even remembered, and also gives me actual scripture to pray back to the Lord on the different topics. Plus, at the bottom of the pages is a way to help with memorizing the scriptures that is very simple and really works! There are plenty of pages to allow for detailed prayer journaling for months, and lovely artwork throughout. The beautiful layout, including lots of lined spaces for recording insights and answers to prayer, has made this book a joy for me to use — in my own prayer time as well as for gifts!

My husband purchased this book for me and I am so glad he did! I struggle with staying mindful during prayer. Scripture memory has also been a challenge for me. Both disciplines are something I have the intention to apply in my life, but have struggled for years actually applying. I am not consistent with any one spiritual discipline, well ANY discipline, but this book has already helped!The book is simple to use. There are categories and topics in columns listed for daily prayer, as well as a Scripture pertaining to that topic or category, a cool Scripture memory tool at the bottom of each column, and room for journaling your prayers. I have used this book daily since I received it! Because I am praying God's word and His will, I am excited to see all the ways God is going to answer my prayers! Lives are going to be impacted and mine will be the most!

Just getting started. Don’t have an opinion at this time.

I received Praying Through Scripture A Woman's Journal about a week ago and have already loved using it. The prayer topic starters are very helpful because they encourage me to think outside myself and my immediate needs. This really helps me think through and pray about the people and situations around me that I intend to cover in prayer but that seem to get lost in the busyness of the day. There is just enough journal space for each topic to write a few notes each day. The scripture prompts are well chosen and have already helped me to pray scripture over several friends going through tough times. One unexpected perk of the journal is the scripture memory letters at the bottom of each page. I absolutely LOVE these! I found myself saying familiar scripture that I had not already memorized by looking at the letters. With this handy tool, I know I can memorize all the scriptures in the journal and even use the method on other scriptures I would like to memorize. Thanks so much for an excellent prayer guide and journal!
