Our personal experiences in the Word of God are valuable and worth writing about. Thats why whenever I read the Bible, I always try to have with me a pen and a notebookor a companion such as thisso I can write down whatever I feel the Lord is speaking to my heart from His Word. I also find that each time I read the Scriptures I am inspired to pray about things in my life or in the world around me that I might not have thought of otherwise, and I want to write out some of those prayersjust like writing a letter to God. As you spend time in Gods Word, I encourage you to use this prayer companion to record your insights and thoughts.

When you choose the book, chapter, and verses you want to read, jot down that reference on the line provided at the top of the blank lines on each page. Then write out what God is speaking to your heart and how you feel inspired to pray. Include prayers for your own life and the situations that concern you. Write as little or as much as you want. At the bottom of each page I have added a short prayer of my own inspired by a specific passage of Gods Word. I hope it will inspire you to pray from Scripture too.

When you let Gods Word inspire your prayers, you learn to read the Bible prayerfully and to pray scripturally. And thats powerful. I know that once you start writing in this prayer companion, you wont want to stop until you have filled every page with private words you will visit again and again in the years to come.
