Awesome book, that can be an independent study, topical bible study or just a personal reference on several "trouble spots" of the christian walk. I have seen it used as a group bible study but because of the temptation to share outside of the group, I would recommend a very defined and disciplined fixed group to be the most successful. I use it as a topical reference and "check-up" for my heart condition and my walk.

Short review: After reading the cover story in Christianity Today in August on Beth Moore, I thought I should probably read something by her. I had a copy of Praying God's Word in audiobook that my mother had purchased on our shared Audible.com account a couple years ago. So I started listening to it. It was great content. If you have heard about praying by using scripture, but have never done it or would like more instruction, this is a great place to do it. But DO NOT get this on audiobook. It...more
Praying God's Word Day-By-Day is an excellent Scripture-focused devotional. It has a quick devotional thought at the top of the page followed by a prayer using Bible verses. Though the prayers won't always apply to you on that day (though most are general enough that they do), they are still wonderful reminders of God's faithfulness and power. I'd highly recommend this book to any Christian.
Maybe I read this book at a wrong time in my life... Or it may be my catholic upbringing with "man made prayers" that makes me unconfortable with Praying God's Word. I prefer to talk to God instead. I read His word and reading it reminds me that what I am asking is within His will, which is mainly what the author says in this book. But I prefer to use my own words or just say "Lord, I don't know what I need, but I trust You. Please help!"
This book gave me some wisdom I was needing, particularly the chapter on Belief. Many chapters do not apply, but Beth Moore covers just about every stronghold in this book and how to pray yourself or others out of it. I found it helpful to have read the other chapters because it allowed me to be more compassionate to others with different struggles.
I have been reading this book for quite a while now, it is an integral part of my quiet time with the Lord in the morning and I don't seem to stop reading it over and over. Praying the Word back to God these past few months has been powerful in my walk with Christ. There is POWER in praying God's word back to Him! By God's grace He has been so faithful to deliver me from many strongholds that have held me captive for years, misbeliefs and lies that I held as core truths and values in my life! On...more
This book is a wonderful prayer guide for praying about the strongholds of idolatry, pride, lack of forgiveness, hurts. Moore once again does a great job of making God's word apply to our lives, particularly our prayer lives. I've prayed all my life, but I found the book added a new depth to my prayers and a new meaning for my prayers.
If I had to choose a single book that was pivotal in changing my life's direction, this is it. It's an amazing book. I have the audio version as well and often times listen to it as I lay in bed at night. Thank you, Beth, for listening to God's direction in your life. You've changed this life forever.
It's a good reference for those moments when your mind gets confused and muddled and you lose the plot (which for me is all the time)
Whether you happen upon hurt feelings, unforgiveness, depression, or anything that clouds your ability to think straight, it is so great to have this book handy.

An incredible "go to" book that I keep nearby and refer to often. Beth has a way of just laying it all out so simply and without the intimidation. Prayer is a personal and sacred thing. I was sincerely happy to find a book that gave me the courage to invite that missed exercise back into my life.
If I could pick one book to give to everyone I know, it would be this book! One of the most powerful books I've read because it equips you with God's word to deal with life's struggles. This book is a must read and one that you need to refer to again and again.
I cannot put a finish date on this book because it will never have one. Next to my Bible it is the most used book that I have. I call it my Bible Handbook. For anyone who is really serious about becoming all that God means for you to be this book is a must have.
I found this book to be very valuable. I love how the author combines the powerful tools of prayer and God's Word. This is almost a book you have to buy and keep on hand as reference because it lists so many Bible verses to refer back to for each type of situation.
Intense book if you work through it front to back. It has so much content. And I can see it being a great book to refer back to when I'm going through any of the specific problems it breaks down in the individual chapters.
This book definitely made me read the Word in a new way. I search more for application and ways to pray and connect with the stories.

I can't even begin to say how much I love this book. I have never thought so highly of a book that I've gone out and bought copies of it for family and friends, but I've done that with this one.
For years I've wanted a book that had done the research on scriptures that could be turned into prayers. Beth Moore has done that and so much more. I have yet to read or study anything done by Beth Moore that I wouldn't rate with 5 stars!!

I use this book frequently and was inspired to write some of my own prayers from Scripture. I have found this practice to be very powerful in my life. I also found much truth and insight in Beth's teaching on each stronghold.
This is not a book I've read completely through. I will pick this book up when I'm confronted with a problematic situation that leaves me feeling I'm running into walls. My faith is supported by her words and wisdom.
Chock full of scripture and instructions on how to pray to deal with issues in your life. The chapter on Forgiveness is well worn in my copy and helped me through a really tough time.
To read and watch Beth Moore is moving and fun... The Lord really uses her and her realness to reach people of every faith.Jesus always comes to the front in her teaching.
Wonderful book which combines Scripture with prayer....just like the former G. Copeland books did for charismatic/Pentacostals.....Word of faith goes mainstream.

marked it as to-read
I really would like to know Beth's testimony and I think in the other books I have read she refers to it being in this book, so I am really excited to read about this.
I love Beth Moore as both speaker and author. She says things in a way that pierces to the point. Enjoyed this just as much as her other books I've read.
Praying Gods' Word is an eye-opening, prayer-life changing, Holy Spirit filled book that will only deepen the Christians' relationship with the Lord.
Audio Book. Really Inspring. I think it would have been better as a print book so that I could have pondered over some of it.
One of my top ten books!! This is a must read for anyone wanting to learn how to love and pray the scriptures!
This is a great tool to read and to keep within your libary also to give as a gift to those the Lord leads you to give.
I'll give it a 4 cuz I love the content, but I have such a hard time READING Beth Moore. Much easier to HEAR her.
Excellent help in finding the right passionate prayers I sometimes can't articulate. Really really good prayer book.
I so needed this book. A great way to connect and stay connected to God through His Word and prayer.
This book is good for anyone who needs help walking through, and praying through strongholds on your life.

“...if God teaches us victory in Christ Jesus day by day, we live in the constant awareness of His greatness and His sufficiency. Hard lessons are often long-lasting lessons. Never forget that God is far more interested in our getting to know the Deliverer than simply being delivered.”
