Praying God's Word

I currently follow a few blogs and one of my favorite ones started a weekly series on praying at the beginning of the year. I absolutely love it, because it helps you to focus on a certain topic one week at a time and every week she uses scripture that goes with that week’s topic.

Here is her program and the program that I will be following the rest of the year. (I think it will be neat to look back on the past year and see what I have learned through my prayer time). I hope others out there will be encouraged as well and would love to know what you think about it.

1. Choose your topic/scripture for each week at the beginning of the month and write these in your weekly calendar.

2. During your daily prayer time pay special attention to the topic/scripture that was chosen for that week.

3. At the end of the week, journal how God spoke to you throughout the week through the specific topic/scripture.
