July, 2001 "Praying The Word"

I recently received a copy of a prayer that was compiled by a dear sister in the Lord, Fran Berry. I got so excited about it and felt it was so rich with scripture that I asked her to share it with you this month. There is nothing like using the very Word of God Himself to pray back to Him and over your life and of course for declaring the truth of the Word to all the heavens and the earth!

This prayer is very long but oh, so good! So I would like to suggest that you pray it in sections each day over yourself and your family. Pray it out loud. You will be amazed at the power of the spoken Word! If you would like a formatted copy of the prayer and scripture references, you may contact me on the form in the "Contact Us" section of this site and I will be happy to e-mail you the prayer as a word file. Fran also has a great web site that I want to encourage you to visit. (www.angelfire.com/on2/bowb4him) Be sure to tell her you saw her prayer here.

Love and Hugs,
Patty
