The Prayor Worships with Isaiah

About the Book

The Prayor Worships with Isaiah explores the entire book of Isaiah through the use of devotional journaling and prayer. Isaiah, a prophet whose messages and clear advice are still relevant today, provides a path for continued spiritual growth. The Prophet Isaiah describes the sins of the kingdom of Judah in great detail. But, even in the face of such wrongdoings, Isaiah assures us that God offers complete forgiveness. “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!” (Isaiah 43:18-19). Throughout the chapters, Isaiah repeatedly reminds us of God’s holiness, goodness, justice, and compassion. “The Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him” (Isaiah 30:18).

About the Author

Gwendolyn Carole Tipton continues to select beautiful Bible verses that stimulate real cries of prayer. Through 66 Bible verses and prayers, one for each chapter in Isaiah, she encourages us to grow in our relationship with God. The “prompt” words she offers are meant to encourage you—“the Prayor”—to write your own prayers in a simple manner by completing four phrases: I acknowledge You as …; I confess my sin…; I ask for my daily bread…; and, I praise God for… Daily journaling builds meditative pages that can bring calm when the emotional air is turbulent or when it is still and nothing is happening. Looking up or down to be in tune with our higher God can bring peaceful freedom of thought and movement, happiness, avoidance of adversity, and focused attention on our true emotions. The Prayor Worships with Isaiah provides a way to help reach this freedom. Included is a Worship Inspiration Service Outline for group use to help expand the understanding that “God will strengthen you and help you” (Isaiah 41:10). All of the Bible verses were taken from the Holy Bible, New International Version (NIV), Women’s Devotional Bible (Zondervan, 1994). Gwendolyn Carole Tipton introduced her first yearlong devotional journal in 2013: The Prayor: One Who Prays. She has also published a book of poetry: Feeling Wheels. 2014.
