Busy Mom's Guide to Prayer: A Guided Prayer Journal

by Lisa Whelchel

Surely you know someone who is an amazing prayer warrior but finds herself caught in the battle of day-to-day chores...and then winds up feeling like she has short-changed her prayer life because she has been slaying the dragons that cross her path in daily life. She's one of the busiest people you know, who truly cares about the people in her life...and in her children's lives...and in her friends' lives. Lisa Whelchel has now given us (and our prayer warrior friends) a tool that can be used to leverage those rare and treasured moments of free time when we want to pray, but simply don't know where to begin. The Busy Mom's Guide to Prayer helps organize our prayer priorities so that we can pray in a practical and effective way and be confident that our petitions are covering people and issues that are important to us. Lisa has provided the framework, you get to provide the content, and the Holy Spirit will provide the power!

Wonderful instructions and directions for prayer

Lisa Whelchel has written a fantastic book on prayer. She provides general information regarding prayer first. Then she gives 20 days of prayer guidance with space to write out your thoughts if using the paperwork version, if using the Kindle version, you can either use the notes feature or use a notebook or journal.

I love the format of this book. I started out writing in the book as suggested, but I ended up in a journal. I feel like I will start this book over and over to help organize my thoughts and prayer life.

Each day is broken down into 6 prayer categories. Praise, Self, Husband, Children, Personal Influences, and Reaching Beyond. Every day would bring other people or situations to mind that I would add as well.
