Book Description
Readers are guided through 100 days of intentional prayer and biblical truth that transform their spiritual lives and reveal God's provision for their needs.
Anything worth having in this life is worth waiting for and worth striving for. Unlike the world, though, Christians are called to a much different kind of pursuit when they survey their dreams, desires, and needs. Instead of an indulgent wish list, Christians are called to live a transformed life where they become more like Christ through the journey of striving after God’s will. In a time when both the world and even some Christians preach instant gratification, Your 100 Day Prayer offers another path—one of transformation while asking, seeking, and knocking for deep desires and desperate needs.
There is nothing guaranteed about 100 days, but as author John Synder says, “This sustained, stubborn, never-give-up spirit of prayer is not so much to persuade God to give us what we want, but rather to transform us in the process.” Your 100 Day Prayer helps readers combine their need with God’s will in a measured, structured, and instructional experience that results in greater spiritual maturity, clarity about God's provision, and real answers to their very real needs. Because our “Father in heaven gives good gifts to those who ask him." (Matthew 7:11).
My Review
I was really excited to receive this book and I have to say this book met my expectations. A little surprised at it's set up but after using it, well, it makes perfect sense. It's set up as a 100 day devotional. Each day has a scripture, encouraging word and space to reflect on what you got from that devotion, where you are in the process or whatever else needs journaled. I love that there is a "how to use this book" section. I think this book could be used by someone who has just now found a walk with the Lord or has several years under their belt and really wants to focus in on a situation. I love that this focuses more on your journey than your problem...and isn't that really what it's about?! Isn't that why God gives us problems so that we can focus on Him because we realize we can't do it without Him? I encourage you to find this book for yourself or it would make a great gift! What I would caution anyone who reads this book is to assume that God will answer your prayer after 100 days or more so, answer it in the way you want Him too. Those of us who have walked with the Lord for any amount of time can attest that He just doesn't work that way. I do however believe Isaiah 55:11 that says His word does not return void. I think if we spend our 100 days reading His word and praying to Him we will see answers to our prayers but maybe it will be to prayers we didn't even know we had.
