I've read and loved so many of Stormie Omartian's books. The Power of a Praying Woman is one of my all-time favorite books that has helped my spiritual relationship with God. So when I saw The Praying Woman's Devotional for review, I knew I had to jump on it. The problem is that I tend to read these kinds of books very slowly, so I'm really late getting this book read and reviewed. My bad.
I'm not sure that I have too terribly much to say about The Praying Woman's Devotional. I enjoyed it. It's packed full of short daily messages and prayers that fit a myriad of situations we women face in our lives. I didn't connect as deeply on an emotional level with this devotional as I did with The Power of a Praying Woman, but I believe that to be due to the short nature of each topic and prayer. The Power of a Praying Woman goes further into each subject than The Praying Woman's Devotional. However, The Praying Woman's Devotional is perfect for the woman who wants to quickly focus her day on a specific topic.
Like the other Stormie Omartian books I've read, there is much that I could quote here. My favorite quotes:
As always, I don't agree with 100% of what is stated within this book when it comes to what is required for salvation.Go to the Bible for more information about that. But regardless, this book holds a lot of great material for daily focusing of our thoughts. While I guess I prefer books that dive a little deeper on each topic, The Praying Woman's Devotional is a great choice for short, focused topics.The Praying Woman's Devotional gets 4 Stars from me. Have you read The Praying Woman's Devotional? What did you think? Let me know!

Like the other Stormie Omartian books I've read, there is much that I could quote here. My favorite quotes:
-Only God can cause love to grow in your heart where there is none. Only God can bring to life love that has died.
-One of the most important things about being in a spiritual family is finding power in prayer through unity. When believers are in unity, there is a dynamic that adds power to our prayers and the confidence that God will answer in power.
-When we pray, we reassert our faith that God keeps His promises. What we said out loud, or silently in our hearts, proclaims the truth of God's promises that we have read or heard in His Word.
-If we don't take control of our minds, the devil will.
-Help me to never be full of myself, but rather to always be freshly filled with more of You each day.
-As the people's holiness went, so went the state of the nation.
-We need to praise Jesus that He is our healer whether we are healed at that moment or not.
-I have found that no matter how bad I feel, when I praise God I always feel better.
-How often do we plead for God's direction and, not liking what we hear, decide to go our own way?

Stormie Omartian's newest book, "The Praying Woman's Devotional" draws its content from the devotionals in "The Power of a Praying Woman Bible." The devotional book promises to encourage women to see God's Word as inspirational, help them to grow closer to the Lord, and lead them to pray in new and fresh ways.
The devotionals in "The Praying Woman's Devotional" focus on a variety of topics, including the following:
- God Always Hears You When You Pray;
- Looking for God's Will;
- Changing the World with Our Prayers;
- Learning to Listen; and
- Approach God's Throne with Confidence.
Of course, the devotionals are filled with wisdom and insight from a godly woman. Readers who have benefitted from Omartian's past books will appreciate this one as well. It certainly propels readers to go deeper in Bible study and prayer, not just skimming the surface, but really digging for the truths in God's Word. In fact, in the devotional titled "Guidance for the Journey," Omartian says, "Learning to walk with God is a process," and throughout the book, she proceeds to lead readers through that process. For a devotional book, that's incredible. Usually devotional books are light and fluffy, but "The Praying Woman's Devotional" is meaty and thought-provoking, and that's what sets it apart from other devotional books.
Honestly, I usually steer clear of devotional books because I find they tend toward personal opinion or personal experience rather than being Scripture-based. This devotional book is definitely not the case. For that reason, I highly recommend "The Praying Woman's Devotional." It's biblical, challenging, and God-focused (what can I learn about God, His nature, and His character) instead of me-focused (what's in it for me). If you're looking for a devotional book to propel you into a deeper walk with the Lord, this is guaranteed to do just that.

I received an advanced copy (ebook) from Harvest House and NetGalleey.com for my honest review.
I have to say this is one of the best Devotionals I have read in a very long time. I haven’t been blessed by Stormie Omartian until now but now I know what I have been missing all this time! I read this devotional every night before bed and I have many highlights. This book really spoke to me. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars!
Thank you Harvest House and NetGalley.com for allowing me the chance to read and review this book. It has blessed me so much!

**I received a copy of this book from NetGalley & the publisher**
I greatly enjoyed this book. It had a wide variety of devotional topics to choose from. It gave scriptures to focus on with the topics, which believe it or not I've come across some books that didn't. I've found other books like I mentioned that just focused on a more biblical centered idea to support their themes, but didn't have scriptures with them, so I really liked that this book did. Overall a good book in my opinion.

This devotional helped me on a many of days. The only reason I am not still using it is because I had to return it to the Library. :( This is a book that I definitely want in my permanent collection. I loved the way the author connected scripture with prayer using it to encourage and uplift. I used it in my bible study when I came across one that was necessary to be shared. Love Love this Devotional!!

THE PRAYING WOMAN'S DEVOTIONAL is incredible. Stormie Omartian has a gift from God to write inspiring devotions and prayers using scriptures. A devotional that is sure to be turned to time and again, THE PRAYING WOMAN'S DEVOTIONAL is one every woman needs on her kindle (or nook or other ereader) and/or on her bookshelf at home.
The author includes a Bible passage, an explanation or short story about it, and a prayer with ties it in to our lives and prayers. HIghly recommended.

I Really liked this Book,. Some pages more than others. As some jumped out to me and gave me what I needed. ie, Looking for as I couldn't find in the Bible,. Stormy explained it very well, in terms for me to understand, as so a lot of people know the Bible is hard sometimes,. This Book made me think..
