Gwendolyn Carole Tipton has done a hard, painful task of finding many beautiful Bible verses and creating honest, lovely prayers to go with them. The breadth of the prayers may inspire you to write from your heart.

The Bible verses and prayers are in keeping with Philippians 4:6-"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."

All of the Bible verses were taken from the Holy Bible, New International Version, Women's Devotional Bible (Zondervan, 1994).

There are 365 Bible verses and prayers that will encourage you to pen your journal of prayers at your pace, whether you write daily or weekly. Make this book last a year or several years by dating and writing when you choose.

Each Bible verse and prayer serves as a prompt to write your personal prayers. The journal writings begin with guide words: Bless, Help me to, Forgive me for, and Thank you for. These guide words keep your meditation spiritual and in keeping with your feelings and needs at that moment.

It works like a daily communication with God, and it takes only a few minutes to read His Word, view a brief prayer of no more than forty words to nudge you to feel his presence and endure the challenges ahead.

Edna, Louise, and Barbara Jean, her grandmother, mother, and aunt, respectively, were her original prayer warriors. They defined "The Prayor: One Who Prays" continually.
