About 15 years ago, I thought I was totally spent as a writer. I\u2019d been through a three-year process of revision on one book that had left me doubting my ability and drained of all enthusiasm for writing.<\/p>\n

So I prayed. I do that when I get desperate\u2026and there\u2019s nothing good on TV.<\/p>\n

God sent me manna from heaven in the form of an assignment to work on a project called The Prayer Bible<\/em>. For a couple of months, I spent my workdays praying through the second half of the Old Testament, verse by verse, a process that not only revived me, and stoked my prayer life\u2014I believe it saved my writing ministry.<\/p>\n

Since then, I’ve been blessed to learn many different ways of praying\u2014and one of those is praying with a Bible and pen. I\u2019ve done it a few different ways in a few different Bibles, but I\u2019ll share one approach, knowing that you can adapt the details to fit your needs.<\/p>\n

I also realize that not everyone feels comfortable writing in a Bible<\/a>. Some, out of respect for God\u2019s Word, have an attitude like my mother who (probably as a result of her own upbringing) didn\u2019t even like us to put any other book on top of a Bible\u2014not even a Bible study guide. I can\u2019t argue with such reverent attitudes.<\/p>\n

However, if you\u2019re inclined to try praying with Bible and pen, I advise the careful selection of a ballpoint or other pen and highlighters that won’t bleed through the page. Test the pens first on paper that\u2019s similar to that used in your Bible.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve selected your pen or highlighters, here are a few ideas that will help to make your Bible reading an enjoyable and meaningful prayerful exercise:<\/p>\n

1) Underline phrases or verses that you pray for yourself.<\/p>\n

2) Add an underline when you pray it more than once.<\/p>\n

3) Use a different color highlighter (or shape) for each person you pray that phrase or verse for (red=Adam, blue=Patty, etc., or circle for Adam and square for Patty).<\/p>\n

4) Alternatively, write the name of the person you pray the words for in the margin or between lines.<\/p>\n

5) Use a few key words to turn a phrase or verse into a prayer, such as “Yes!,” “Please” and “Amen.”<\/p>\n

6) Write a date in the margin or between lines to indicate when a prayer was answered.<\/p>\n

7) Use a symbol such as \u2020 to create a footnote at a passage and add a corresponding figure in the top or bottom margin where you write the prayer of your heart based on that passage.<\/p>\n

These are just a few ideas, of course, but they\u2019re offered as a starting point that anyone can use to create and develop a personal method for combining Bible reading<\/a> with prayer. Why not try it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
