Is there a decision you’re currently facing? A situation where you need to know how to respond? A place where you long to experience unshakable peace, instead of worrying that you might do the wrong thing?

I can’t think of many people who have a bigger heart for God - or for prayer - than Alyssa Bethke. She RADIATES love and joy! And I could not be more grateful for her kind words about PRAYING THE SCRIPTURES FOR YOUR LIFE.

(And psst... if you haven’t yet ordered Alyssa’s new book, SATISFIED, check it out. It’s a feast for the soul - and the tummy too. You’ll find some great recipes in the pages that are already dripping with wisdom and grace!)

It’s Launch Day! And I can’t wait to share this new book with you! 🙌

Part One is called “An Invitation to Abide.” It’s a big-picture look at what connection to Christ looks like in real life, and how we can become people of impact as we allow God’s Word to transform our desires and give power to our prayers.

Part Two is more nitty-gritty. That’s where we dig into 31 different topics (one for each day of the month, if that pace appeals) where we need to experience God’s power and provision. Things like loving hard people. Extending forgiveness. Praying for our marriage or our children. Hearing God’s voice. Using talents, time, and money wisely. Waiting on God. Aging well. Dealing with the pain of unanswered prayers.

You get the idea. If it matters to you, it matters to God – and his Word has us covered. Grab your copy today! 👉🏼 Link in bio.

You should buy my new book. 😉 Not because of anything I wrote, but because that’s the only way you can read Ann Voskamp’s foreword. Which is amazing.

Here’s a little excerpt:

“Prayer becomes what we live when we want to get hold of God, not just get hold of what we want. And real prayer isn’t about changing God’s mind, but about finding God’s heart, and letting his heart change our minds.”

Roger that. 👆

Or how about this insight, also from Ann:

“…And the relief is? None of us pray alone.

“Though you think no one is praying with you, the Ultimate One is praying for you.

“The One who breathes stars breathes prayers for you, the One whose words spoke the world into being uses priceless words over your being, the One who made time lives beyond time, controls all of time, uses all of His time to pray for you, because you are priceless to Him.”

I’ll wait while you read that one again. Because it is true: You ARE priceless to God. And He is always praying for you. 💕

(Thank you @annvoskamp. You say all the things I want to say, only a bazillion times better. #Grateful) @zondervan @zondervanbooks #prayingthescriptures
