Book Drawing: “Praying Through Every Emotion”: by Linda Evans Shepherd

Book Drawing: Praying Through Every Emotion: Experiencing God’s Peace No Matter What by Linda Evans Shepherd

I’m so excited to offer another book drawing and this time focus on a book of prayers with a collection of accompanying Scripture. This book will empower you to pray according to God’s will as you experience different emotions. In fact, author Linda Evans Shepherd includes prayers on 74 different emotions, including anger, compassion, grief, offended, regret, shocked, troubled, worshipful, and a variety of others. I would venture to say every emotion is included.

I want to alert you to this wonderful book and make a copy available in a book drawing. Be sure to read through to the end to learn how you can enter the drawing. UPDATE: The drawing is closed and Amber is the winner!

For right now, here is a sample from Praying Through Every Emotion and I know it will bless you. Every topic has a prayer on one side of the page and a short list of verses that apply to the topic. So in effect, you can express yourself through the prayer and also meditate on applicable verses. That’s perfect!

Strife

by Linda Evans Shepherd

Dear Lord,

Here we go again. Did You hear what he said? Did You see what she did? I’d like to give them a piece of my mind.

But wait. You would have me choose peace of mind instead.

I’m taking a deep breath and stepping back from the fight because You have called me to make peace my top priority. Instead of instructing me to butt heads, You instruct me to stand down.
As I do, You will help me to initiate peace and encourage those You put in my life.

Your Word warns me to have nothing to do with foolish talk or arguments, which can lead to trouble. So I will work to bypass trouble by serving others with kindness, even if I have to suffer for doing good.

So help me to be gentle when You call me to explain those things that people don’t want to hear, for You may change their hearts so that they turn to the truth.

I can have more peace when I stop my complaining and arguing and avoid quarrels. Any fool can start a fight, but only a person of wisdom can avoid a conflict. TWEET THAT!!!!

The best remedy You have given me for avoiding strife, quarrels, and hurt feelings is to love. As I love others with your love, Your love will cover every wrong.

In the name of Jesus, amen.

Here are the accompanying verses for meditation:

So then, make it your top priority to live a life of peace with harmony in your relationships, eagerly seeking to strengthen and encourage one another. Romans 14:19 TPT

Let me say it again. Have nothing to do with foolish talk and those who want to argue. It can only lead to trouble. A servant owned by God must not make trouble. He must be kind to everyone He must be able to teach. He must be willing to suffer when hurt for doing good. Be gentle when you try to teach those who are against what you say. God may change their hearts so they will turn to the truth. 2 Timothy 2;23-25 NLV

Do everything without complaining or arguing. Philippians 2:14 GW TWEET THAT!

Avoiding a quarrel is honorable. After all, any stubborn fool can start a fight. Proverbs 20:3 GW

Hate starts quarrels, but love covers every wrong. Proverbs 10:12 GW

Thank you, Linda, for sharing these inspiring thoughts from your book.

Here’s a short description. Praying Through Every Emotion: Experiencing God’s Peace No Matter What is topically arranged so you can go directly to your particular need. It offers transforming Scripture and prayer to help you change your perspective, heal your emotional wounds, and find yourself unburdened from cares and concerns. Your emotions are a gift from God, and He uses them to help you grow, both closer to Him and more fully into the person He created you to be. Use this book to help you grow, both closer to Him and more fully into the person He created you to be.
