Pray the Scriptures - 40 Days in Prayer
Looking for something to refresh your prayer life? Try reading Kevin Johnson's "Pray the Scriptures." All it takes is 40 days.
Pray the Scriptures is exactly what it sounds like--a 40-day devo to enrich and deepen your prayer life. Each day has a short intro ("Find Rest," "Saved," Thriving in Trials," etc.), followed by several Bible passages. between these passages are prompts to help you reflect on the verses and several lines which you can use to write down your thoughts. Following that are a few reflection and discussion questions.
What I really liked about this book was that it really makes the scriptures meaningful. By pairing different verses together and including an intro paragraph before (to make it more personal), the Bible verses gain a lot of meaning. As well, by forcing the reader to really reflect on the passage (with a bit of context), readers think more in-depth, which in turn makes the discussion questions more meaningful at the end of the reading.
I think this is a great book to get in the habit of reading--for just 40 days. It creates a great space to sit down with God and reinvigorate your prayer life.
