Praying God's Word has been transformational in my own life. I recently read a book that goes hand in hand with praying God's Word: Praying Over God's Promises by Thomas Yeakley. {If you are interested in using this book for a group study, NavPress offers a group discount!} "Imagine a life of fresh faith built on assurances directly from God!"

God’s Gardens of Life
The soil has been plowed. The rows are set. The seeds are sown. Rain has been falling. The sprouts should appear soon! Gardens are full of new life.
