Amen I appreciate all that you've said. It's so important to follow God's leading. Everyone has a job to do and God is our director so we should always first invite him to tell us how to pray on what subject.love you God bless you and your family and your ministry. Thank you Father for putting this channel in my queue
I'm not a Devotion person. I'm a Study God's Word person. When I am asked by someone for prayer, I write it in a journal. I don't use Scriptures, but instead just write out the prayer as though I am writing a personal letter to God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the precious Holy Spirit. I always begin and end with praise too. I enjoy watching everyone's prayer Bibles and I have no criticism for anyone who has a genuine desire to walk and talk with God. I love this "season" that seems to be going around now because it keeps people interested in staying involved with reading their Bibles. We all need Him in our lives and we want Him to move in the lives of our loved ones. Always remember to thank Him, even when it appears that our prayers aren't being answered. His Will Be Done in ALL things.
I also write out every single prayer as though I’m writing to the Father, in Jesus’ Precious Name. I date it so that when answers come, I’m able to record that as a “memorial” to the faithfulness of God. I have found using the acronym A.C.T.S. very helpful as a guide ~ A = ADORATION. acknowledging the greatness of God build my faith in that moment C = CONFESSION in acknowledging His Greatness, all self is broken down and my weakness and sins are laid bare before Him T = THANKSGIVING , seriously thanking Him for redeeming me in spite of my sinfulness and being aware of the wonderful Redemptive Power of the Cross as He Atoned for me S = SUPPLICATION . Now I am in the right frame of mind to bring my petitions before Him. Remembering at all times who I am and to WHOM I’m speaking. The creation kneeling before the Almighty Creator of the universe ❤️🙏🏻
God spoke the Bible so what better prayers than to use His word. Praying scripture is powerful because the prayer will line up with scripture. If one prays for something that doesn't line up with God's Word then God won't answer. The Holy Spirit will lead you to the scripture. However you don't need a prayer Bible
I love the prayer bible. I have run away from the bible, but when I ran across sisterita I am so excited to dust off my Bibles. I have to use my large print bible. I'm 72 years old and diabetic. My eyesight cannot take small print. I used to use the soap method. I love it! I'm so excited about putting structure in my time with God. I'm recovering from surgery, so He got my attention!❤❤ Thank you 💕
@@wandarios SOAP is a simple method for reading and applying God's word to our lives. SOAP stands for Scripture, Observation, Application and Prayer hope that helps
I first found sisterita and then you and a few others that i now follow. You each bring different ideas around prayer Bibles....and you are all a blessing to me.
You DEFINITELY have to check out How to Faith a Life (Bible Nerds) with Faith she is incredible! Her step by step bible journaling and studying is soooo inspirational ! Definitely worth a look! I to follow many... You can never follow enough good creative Christian Woman! The more the merrier ❤
❤Thank you for this dear Sister. I think I may know what you’re talking about. I came across that video and I felt the same way about that particular video series that was put out. One thing we know from the Word of God for certain is that God’s Word will do His work. His Word definitely does not return void. Yes you’re so correct that everyone will really need to pray about what subjects the Lord may be directing them to pray on & start there. I was so excited to do my prayer bible and then my kids became interested and is now praying God’s Word by themselves. 🥲 That’s huge! No one can tell us that God is not in this. This is an Amazing blessing! Be strong and of good cheer my sister. We’re doing what is meant to be done for such a time as this that we’re in. Also, my grandmother had a prayer Bible. She did not have tabs but pictures of everyone in the family along with underlines, written prayers, etc… This is not new by any means because I’m more than sure our grandparents and their parents did this previously.
You are most welcome 🤗 yes!!!! There is so much evidence that this is a blessing. I meant to mention in this video how I had the pleasure of connecting with other RUclipsrs, some even reached out to me. Also I’ve discovered more Christian Channels In the process. I’m reading so many testimonies! I’m overjoyed. God is good!
I just want to leave these comments because God lead me to your video today. I was surfing YT for all kinds of bible related things and came across your video. I watched one of your videos earlier where you was showing the transparent sticky notes and watched a few others about the pens at DG but this video right here, it was like you were speaking to just me. All the things you said helped me so much. My mind raises all the time and my feelings are all over the place. You was so gentle in the beginning of this video and spoke so kindly and I thank you for that because most videos I pull up if it doesn't catch my attention within a few min or even second its not for me. But this video intrigued me to the end. I'm 63 years old and just getting into bible study even though I was raised in a Christian church as a child. But now for the first time I hear God loud and clear and he's pulling me to come be closer to him and walk in his faith and its a wonderful feeling. I also want to thank you in how you broke down different topics in this video. And helped me to go look for budget friendly items to get me on my way. I have a Bible in my Amazon cart that I am planning on purchasing. It will be my very first Bible I ever bought for myself. But thank you for all the tips on other journals, books, supplies I can look forward to adding to my journey. Sorry for the long message but I just wanted to share you touched a soul today. May God bless you and I look forward to being a new subscriber. 🙏🏾 ❤
I don’t mind your long comment. It makes me smile and helps me to be reminded that God has me right where he wants me 💜 I’m glad you’re here and I pray other videos help you too 💜 I also pray God provided for your new Bible 🥰
I really like the prayer Bible. I have 3 different versions that I like and created a different kind of prayers in each one. I am amazed that when I work on my Bibles God will show me another verse I didn't know, but needed at that time.
This was a good message. You are very correct that we need to do our prayer Bibles as God directs each one of us to do. We need to listen to Him and not be sheep and follow along without consulting Him. Again, good message. Thank you!
I love that you addressed this. In my opinion, even if someone was “copying” someone else, if it gets someone who discovers a channel that may not have seen the other channel, then it’s used for God’s glory. To be worried about “copying” shows that the glory is focused on the wrong person. In ALL things, the glory should be to God alone. I love that you highlighted that it’s the heart posture that’s the most important thing.
The SOAP method is a Bible study technique that stands for Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer. The steps are: ~Scripture: Read or write out a short Bible passage. ~Observation: Note what you notice about the passage, such as the main message, important words, or ideas. ~Application: Consider how the passage applies to your life, and ask God for guidance. ~Prayer: Pray about what you've learned, and ask God to help you apply it to your life.
Char, I came across your channel a couple of days ago, and I’m truly thankful. I am a new Christian, and I appreciate everything I am learning. I love that you speak the truth with kindness, have seen so much negativity concerning the prayer bibles. I am loving your channel. ❤❤
I have seen some hate on the way some people do their prayer Bibles. You are so eloquent in reminding everyone that what works for one may not work for another. I am so glad I came across your channel.
This is a very wise and Christ led video! Thank you for sharing the Godly advice and pointing your viewers to consulting with God first and foremost! Beautiful, Christ centered advice and given with love and humility! ❤
I love the cover on your Inspire Bible. The cover on one of my Bibles was getting to look ragged and started peeling (not leather). I just covered it with glue and a piece of tapestry and it is so beautiful now. I've been a Christian for many years. I think its exciting with this "craze" of prayer Bibles that many seem to be getting into God's word more. I just hope they are spending more time absorbing the scripture, than decorating their Bibles. The decorating is fun, but it's the Word and knowing the Word that gives life.
Yesss I agree! I know I’m commenting late and I’m sorry. It was so many comments, I didn’t expect so many lol but ironically I found your comment today and it’s the very subject I believe God wants me to speak on 💜
Thank you for your videos and lovr and compassion to God's word!! Before I finish watching this video I want to tell any new believer that God knows your heart even w/o a prayer Bible. Seek Him 1st. I am a seasoned Christian (over 20 years) and because I teach preschoolers, I had always felt inadequate to pray corporately, because I thought I prayed very "simple" ....but God. He says to come to Him. And I did and I pray seeking Him and not what I think or what others may think. When I first saw the video on the "prayer bible " I was happy because this a great way to learn more scripture. I remember my journey on this earth is to seek 1st the kingdom of God and all His righteousness... Start w God and His word. This craft is not a must. For me, it's a great way to memorize scripture and maybe to gift to others with certain concerns and struggle w finding encouragement through the scripture. Make this your journey with God. Blessings
I love that you spoke on this because there’s no right or wrong way to have a prayer journal etc. Thank you for giving examples and for being a blessing and a light to others
Praise the Lord! Thank you for REAL & AUTHENTIC! I might be 'Ol school' but I grew up with 1 bible. There was no extra money for multiple bibles. My 1 bible included everything, prayers, study, notes etc...highlighters were basic lol yellow,green,orange & blue. I was 24 when I discovered promises books. A book filled with topics and scriptures. The fact is that my bible is my sword.
Yes!!!!! I remember having basic highlighter colors. I remember how amazed I was when I came across a pack of very colorful pens. They were so beautiful to me! Lol I still can’t believe I went from having 1 bible to now
Thank you for sharing your experience and your thoughts with us. I appreciate your patience with us, and your willingness to help us with the focus on God.
Thank you for this vjddo. I am in my 70's. Have I prayed most my life? Yes. But, I will say that I have never been so present in my bible studies as I have been in the past few years. Had I heard the stories and the scriptures? Yes, but not like they are presented today by Bible teaching pastor's and students of the Word. We must always be mindful of those who teach the gospel. I am thankful that I CA navigate in the computer world and on RUclips. I have been inspired by a number of content creator's. I have prayed about how to study and be more prayerful. It didn't come easy for me. I have been fortunate enough to have several bibles to use for study, for journaling, and prayer. There are many ways to have your personal walk with the Lord. Everyone must find the right way for them. And if you don't agree or like what someone chooses, change the channel or don't say anything at all. I appreciate so many of you. Peace and blessings.
Oh my goodness!! You are spot on about the different Bibles. I worked at LifeWay and was so amazed at the different translations, whether it be a reference Bible (no study notes) or study Bibles with notes taking up most the page, note taking Bibles and Journaling Bibles. I have NLT's, NIV's, ESV (my fave), CSB (my other favorite), NKJV, KJV, NASB. They all speak to me. If I get stuck on a verse in one Bible, I'll pull out another and see what it says. God's Word is alive and active. Thank you so much for this video!! I'm subscribing!! Hugs and blessings to you!!
I started a prayer journal, just a month or so ago! I looked to so many of these RUclips videos as resources and as a reference and made decisions based on my need to focus in on my spiritual life and commitment to God and my prayers life. I’ve been so blessed by you, and many others in my search to find a workable plan. I have expanded the time I am in prayer and have been able to up the quality of my focus on prayer because the prayers are broken out into sections that move me through the set pattern to pray, the Lord’s Prayer! I have items I am still expanding on, like daily prompts that cover a different topic I care about, one topic a day. Each day when I pray, I select different specific prayers as I feel led. My prayer journal has been so helpful to me! Yes, there are doubters, but I pray for them and move on and do how feel led. Thanks so much for every one of your posts!
My sista in Christ, I came across your vlog, and I say well said. I would like to say that I have seen a couple of videos on Prayer Bibles. We all serving God, and the information that the sisters took time to put the information on here to help others. That's a good thing because everyone is not on the same level when it comes to prayer. For some it's hard to pray in public or hard to pray for themselves or whatever the situation may be. But let's keep it decent. I say this to say let's keep building each other's up as a child of God. The prayer Bible is a very good ideam, Thanks for the information.
I love my prayer Bible! When I first saw a video about making one, I thought it was a brilliant idea. I did not feel pressured to do it or to copy hers. Ive struggled for years staying focused and as a very visual person, it helps greatly with that. As an artist I love expressing my creativity and having a useful tool as well. I realize it isn’t for everybody. I showed the video to my friend and she was overwhelmed by it. So do what works for you.
I do a YouVersion devotional daily with my sister. My husband and I listen to the Bible over two years (right now). I loved your video on scripture writing and it reminded me to start another scripture writing-I’m going to write out Psalms as my 2024 theme is ‘Precious Prayer’ as I want to build this discipline and conversations (NOT lists of requests😮). Psalms is a beautiful place for praying. I hope you love the McArthur James study. I’ve found their handling of scripture so rich. Your story of stuttering is interesting and encouraging. I agree with others that you are easy to listen to and you move at such a perfect pace for those of us that don’t do high intensity very well. Praise God.
Thank you for commenting! I needed this reminder that I am going at the pace God wants me too!!! I have been working on my prayers too. I’m working on giving him honor and glory first 💜
I'm an airhead a lot!!! During prayer: "Lord....." And absolutely NOTHING comes to mind....more often than I like to admit (most of the time I'm exhausted and just can't think!). So, I'll ask the Holy Spirit to please do His thing as Paul says in Romans 8:26 that the Holy Spirit intercedes for us! Thank you, Lord, because words fail me so much!! And, I was kind of thinking these same things! I have been so excited about getting my Bible in the mail. But I remind myself that it's not just a new Bible/book (which I get excited about getting)! This is a tool to strengthen my relationship with God. Don't be excited about getting a new Bible or making the new Bible pretty, because that is dangerously close to making it an idol. The way I see it, the devil has options, either make people turn away from the Bible or make it so materialistic that it more about having a pretty book that you "made" instead of this book helping you spend quality time with your Father making it and reading from it. I hope this makes sense so that it helps someone. Blessings and prayers for you, your family, and the people who watch your channel. Thank you so much for your time making these insightful videos! 😊
Your thoughts are my thoughts! I’ve been led to talk against making the Bible an Idle for a year now. It’s so easily done. I pray for balance always because we are human and we aren’t perfect. I pray we all come to this conclusion that it’s all about God and our relationship with him 💜
I like that when I am too tired to put words together, the Holy Spirit can intercede with me to pray whatever is needed for the moment. Generally I try to start by praying, Lord, thanks for… and please help with… and thank you for… in your name I pray, Amen. So it’s a time of praising, asking, and praising some more in my own way. May this be helpful to others in the same situation.
I agree, praying about a prayer Bible before you even start is the best way to go about it! Im currently working on a Bible for myself and a friend who just got married and ive been asking God what to put in her Bible as well as mine. Ive watched SO many videos on people creating their own and everyone does it just a littlw different and each one is beautiful and unique to the woman that made it. Ive taken ideas from a lot of people. My Bible is 8x5 inches. My compact Bible i feel is too small. The one i bought for my friend is just slightly bigger, but its skinnier than the one i bought for myself. I feel like they are the perfect size for her and myself, and a lot of prayer went into it before i even chose the ones i bought. I couldnt agree more with everything you had to say today. I think its just the video some people out there need to hear! Thank you for your wisdom, Charleen! (I hope i spelled that right, its how my sister spells it) ❤ May God bless you!
Thank you 😊 I tried to speak as plan a possible. I want people to hear my heart 💜 we are all unique and design and our bibles can be too 🤗 It’s Charlene lol I was name after someone off a soap opera 🤣 God bless you too!
This was a really good video. You shared so many options for helping people start and keep the habit of praying. You have been blessed with creativity.
Such sound words. What a blessing to listen to your very wise guidance. I so appreciate how specific and clear your advice is. Thank you for always referencing scripture while you guide. I, like most of your viewers, can relate to everything you'v e addressed. Absolutely, the more I've been increasing my prayer life, the more I've been under attack. May the Lord protect you and keep you healthy as you continue to guide and teach your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. Amen🙏
Thank you!!! You are so kind! Don’t stop praying 🙏🏾 keep going. We are not alone in this battle. There is so much more work to do ❤ Thank you for taking time to comment
Thank you! I am not new to being a Christian, but I just found Prayer Bibles. Your “warning” drew me in to see…why? I understand what you are saying. The Lord used my very active thinking to learn from this video. I could go on & on……just thank you for this video, God definitely used it for me. God bless!
yes, yes yes my sister in Christ. I know exactly what you are talking about and I am struggling in my own journey later in life digging into the Bible and prayer and I really count on and love the RUclips influencers like yourself and others who are so genuine. I have just started watching videos on a prayer Bible and I absolutely saw the diss video that I believe you are talking about and it hurt my heart and really set off a whole lot of questions in my own head about whether I’m doing things properly. I could not even finish that whole video yesterday because it hurt my heart to think that a person who is teaching the word of Christ to people search for guidance and how it made me feel and I cannot be alone in that. Thank you beautiful soul, for your truth.
This is EXCELLENT! I want to help other women /family learn to pray and this gives me so many solutions to help a variety of people in different walks of life, personalities and resources! Thank you for letting God use you so powerfully!❤❤❤
Thank you!!! You brought of a great point. I could also use this as a tool for others! I truly believe for years I was under the impression that I was the only one that didn’t know how to pray smh. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to speak on such things
Thank you for this much needed video!!!! Thank you for reminding us that we are all different and what works for one person may not work for someone else. It makes me sad to think that people are putting negative comments about the heart felt Bibles people are creating on the Sisterita Facebook page. I was always taught that if you can’t say something good about someone, don’t say anything at all!!! However wee know that satan is always busy and he will do anything and use anybody that he can to defeat anything that glorifies our Heavenly Father….the devil is a liar plain and simple, and he’s always going to try to tear us down-to tear God down. Again, thank you for this much needed video, it was truly an encouragement. I love your channel✝️🙏🏽✝️🙏🏽✝️
You are most welcome! Yea I got sad too, always angry. It’s frustrating when we should know better but I’m always reminded God has enough grace and mercy for us all no matter the maturity level. It’s so beautiful and amazing the connections, the love, the kindness, and sharing that has take place because of the prayer bible. I want this goodness to last forever! I can’t even put into worlds how it feels to be apart of something that brings us closer to God and one another 💗
My sister-in-law shared the prayer Bible with ,e so that we could start it together. She bought me a compact Bible and I quickly realized the size wasn’t going to work. I bought a devotional that I’ve been using to help me with my themes initially and it has made me go deeper into The Word. I decided to keep it simple and use post it tabs and matching highlighters. I may put some Christian stickers in my front cover but that’s it. I didn’t want to get caught up in my prayer Bible being cute (I’m also a planner). My devotional starts with who Jesus is….I’m grateful that I didn’t get too caught up with looking at a bunch of videos.
Your sister in law sounds like a blessing! I too quickly realized I must keep things simple. I got caught of in journaling hard and got so consumed on what perfection looked like that I had anxiety about it. I’m so glad I’m free now! I’m a note taker and always wrote things. This has helped me with praying and studying. And yes it’s ALOT of videos now 🥰 I try to be cautious.
Amen! Thank you very much for your video🙏 I watched quite a few on Prayer Bibles, and also found myself wondering what I should do? Which Bible to use, which themes to use? But I kept coming back to...none of what I want to do fits into what I'm seeing. What if I do it wrong? This really guided my in what God was saying to me all along. Do your own thing!!! I LOVE everyone's Prayer Bibles, but sometimes God wants us to do it different and stop copying others🥳🤩And that doesn't at all mean that others are doing it wrong💜
Yes!!! Your comment is exactly one of the many reasons I made this video. I don’t want anyone to feel incomplete or less than because of their differences. I’m so glad God confirms things 💜
So glad I came across your channel!!! I was struggling with the idea of starting a prayer bible, feeling overwhelmed that I "needed to buy" this or that...thank you for simplifying this process! God bless you!!!
Thank you for your video❤ I was so disheartened to see the negative videos. We are all brothers and sisters in Christ and you are right they should have gone to the individual if they had an issue. One video said that they didnt have the time to watch exceot for 10 minutes of the sisterita video because they are too busy. They did two videos stating they were too busy to watch but yet had plenty of time to give an opinion!
Did you leave this feedback on that channel that you’re talking about? And are you sure that creator meant what you think she meant? I know I’ve watched a few videos from a creator who seems to be making her own prayer Bible series now, and although she said some of the things that you’ve summarized here in your comment I did not interpret her comments or series as a critique but as a way of showing that there is no one perfect way. Yes, her comment could have been better phrased, but with all due respect your comment is coming off more critical of her than her comment was of Sisterita.
Thanks so much for sharing this because one of the things you mentioned was exactly what I did. I watched a video, bought a Bible and copied what someone else did in their Bible without first praying to God about it. Now I need to go back and start over with God’s direction for me.
Love your Sweet spirit and wise Discernment. I will definitely Pray for Gods guidance before I begin adding the Prayer Bible as you suggested. Sending Love & Blessings from PEI Canada🙏🇨🇦🙏
Thank you so much for sharing your prayer journey with us. I especially feel what you say about how each of our minds work in their own unique way, and our Creator knows each one of us intimately ❤. I feel better about my quirky over-analytical mind now. God has a purpose for everything, even when I don't understand it yet. You're such an encouraging teacher ❤
This is so real! We're humans. Sometiems we're tired, in pain, discouraged, sometiems it's effort. I've been feeling down because I find my faith and walk take effort and I wonder why I'm a "faulty" Christian. Thank you for this
Those tiny Bibles are cute but my first requirement was font size. I settled on an Abide Bible because it also had interesting ideas for engaging in the scripture.
Thank you for your great video! I have been writing my scripture prayers in a journaling Bible for years, the new prayer Bible movement tempted me, but I know myself well enough to know that I will be distracted by the creativity. I will be sticking to writing my prayers without the art and enjoy seeing other people's beautiful payer Bibles.
I just wanted to say thank you for making this video. I have said the same thing to every person that has asked me about my prayer life and those who are new are new Christian walk. I will be sharing this video if it is ok with you
THIS!!!!!! This video is everything ive been thinking. I stumbled upon a prayer bible video and have been so excited to do one and get in the Word and get back to PRAYING the Word; but ive seen videos and comments on other prayer bible videos that are very discouraging and confusing and make me question my motives and should I really be doing this. So thank you for posting this video!!! I can't wait to make mine!!
Prayer Bibles seem to be the new popular thing right now. I do have a few other vlogs on it which I'm going to watch. Thank you for posting this Charlene.
When you have problems putting something out there for God it usually means the devil doesn't like it and is trying to get in your way! Thank you for pushing past the devil!
I love that I just found your channel. I’m just learning about the Bible. I have a yearning. I’m catholic. I am glad to hear your words as I kept seeing what I perceived as craft projects, I just didn’t understand.❤
I’m glad you are here! And I’m sorry if any of what you have seen confused you or causes discomfort. Talk to God about it. I pray my video has helped in some way 💜
This is so good and encouraging. I love how you diversify your prayer tools to help you facilitate prayer depending on how God leads you that day. Great ideas. Thanks so much.
I just discovered the concept of prayer Bibles. I really appreciate your input! I’m happy to subscribe to your channel, my sister in Christ! Blessings!!
Im new to your channel. YT just suggested your video. You spoke so much truth in this video. New subscriber on this video. May God continue to bless you. This was very encouraging. I will watch more of your videos. ❤
I have been save for over 30 some thing years. This is the first that I have seen a prayer bible, this is true the video that you are saying. I have had a hard time finding stuff for the KJV Bible. I picked thing and looked at the back of my bible and what I have all ways prayed for . Have a blessed days
I bought around 10-15 different Bibles off of Amazon, in the Clearance/return section 😢. ( I want to save them all ❤.) But, each one has it's own purpose for me. But, my most favorite...... I have 3 of thee exact same one😊. One was already "arted" in. One is "read only" the last is perfect and will remain uncracked, perfect, and beautifully whole in everyone's eyes. It will be given at some point. ❤
I have Biblebeen struggling with this topic for a year or longer after I have tried numerous way (prayer bible). Thank you for your video I will change my thought to a more personal positive attitude
I’m so happy I found your channel! This video is great and full of excellent information! I like how you acknowledged there are different ways and resources to pray and read God’s word! Thank you!
I am glad that I ran across your video. It leveled out a prayer bible, (that I am pumped about) but the wisdom you pointed out is important in creating and using a prayer bible. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration! Your Sister in Christ!
Thanks for sharing your heart on this subject. I’m sure it was not an easy video to make. I made one and love it but your warnings for new Christians is very valid. Amen!
I'm blessed to have many Bibles in multiple translations and all types (ie. study, daily, etc). But I only have 1 Bible that I have chosen to mark up with notes, underlining, circling. I love that Bible - it is very special to me. If there's a particular day that I need some extra encouragement or guidance, I can grab that one Bible and, just for example, flip through the Psalms and read all the verses I have circled. It's amazing how different my frame of mind is afterwards. But I have found that in my daily reading and praying, those marks tend to become a distraction to me; my mind focuses on the verses I have circled and underlined in the past, and I may be missing something *new* the Lord may need to show me. So when I read and pray, I prefer a blank slate. I read slowly and pray back verses one by one. It's amazing how one verse can be read hundreds of times on different occasions and one day speaks to you like never before, just when God knows you need it. His Word truly is living & active.
You popped up in my recommendations and I am so glad it did ! As a Great Grandma, my "prayer Bible" is surely different than others, as it should be in my eyes. I did pray about if and how I wanted to set up a Compact Bible. Well, He knew. I received a beautiful gift of a Giant Print Compact Filament Bible. I can take it with me, too many Dr's appts! Anyway, it has been such a blessing. I have a section on healing that has been used often already. Praying for and with people that need a physical, mental or spiritual healing. New sub here Sister! God bless you and keep you and yours !!
I love this!!!!!!!! I’m so glad you are here and decided to stay 😊 God provided you with exactly what’s needed. I tell my husband often that his health situation will help him reach those in similar situations. God got us right where we need to be ❤
You are confirmation my dear. I was having a moment of quiet and all these ideas came rushing to me. And I often say God why?! I’m only one person, I can only do but so much. But God always confirms my ideas are meant for others 💜thank you!
Every relationship with God is different and personal. Journaling Bibles and Prayer Bibles are great, if that is what are you are led to do. I have 4 Bibles. One is from an aunt that is with God and one is a small Bible I received on my 14th birthday. The others 2 are my every day Bibles. They are for reading, studying, and praying. I do underline, write notes, and pray scriptures with these. I am not led to set them a side for one particular purpose.
You are such a blessing! Thank you for the words of encouragement, ideas and suggestions. And especially, thank you for reminding us to keep it all God-centered and God-inspired. You're a gift. Thank you. Cheers~
God love’s beauty. God created our beautiful universe. Creativity is a gift from God. I chose to accept that gift. ❤. I have to use card magnifiers to read my purse bible. Age affects us all eventually.
I went to the post office today to get my prayer Bible. I didn’t know it was a pocket book and not compact. I came home to RUclips on how to do a prayer Bible to figure out how I should use this because it was so small. Then your video came up with the exact same Bible. I’m definitely going to make it work. Thanks for doing this video. I appreciate it. ❤
Charlene... your video is EXACTLY what I needed today. I'm so grateful God brought you to my feed today. Thank you for sharing. God is so good. Merry Christmas and praying for many blessings for you and yours. God bless you.
God is indeed good 😊 I thank you for watching and commenting 🥰 I know I’m super late please forgive me! I didn’t except to have such a large response 🫣
Anything that pulls someone into the bible or can deepen their walk with the maker is nothing but good. Beyond good. It's a Hallelujah moment.
Amen! 🎉
INDEED ❤
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Amen
I'm in my 80's and just discovered the prayer Bibles last week. I'm beyond excited. My first small Bible is praying Names of God. ❤
Wow!!!!!! I was thinking of the same one day! I put all the names on a piece of paper and placed it on my wall by my desk. 🥰
I'd love the references for this!
Amen I appreciate all that you've said. It's so important to follow God's leading. Everyone has a job to do and God is our director so we should always first invite him to tell us how to pray on what subject.love you God bless you and your family and your ministry. Thank you Father for putting this channel in my queue
I'm not a Devotion person. I'm a Study God's Word person. When I am asked by someone for prayer, I write it in a journal. I don't use Scriptures, but instead just write out the prayer as though I am writing a personal letter to God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the precious Holy Spirit. I always begin and end with praise too. I enjoy watching everyone's prayer Bibles and I have no criticism for anyone who has a genuine desire to walk and talk with God. I love this "season" that seems to be going around now because it keeps people interested in staying involved with reading their Bibles. We all need Him in our lives and we want Him to move in the lives of our loved ones. Always remember to thank Him, even when it appears that our prayers aren't being answered. His Will Be Done in ALL things.
I also write out every single prayer as though I’m writing to the Father, in Jesus’ Precious Name. I date it so that when answers come, I’m able to record that as a “memorial” to the faithfulness of God. I have found using the acronym A.C.T.S. very helpful as a guide ~
A = ADORATION. acknowledging the greatness of God build my faith in that moment
C = CONFESSION in acknowledging His Greatness, all self is broken down and my weakness and sins are laid bare before Him
T = THANKSGIVING , seriously thanking Him for redeeming me in spite of my sinfulness and being aware of the wonderful Redemptive Power of the Cross as He Atoned for me
S = SUPPLICATION . Now I am in the right frame of mind to bring my petitions before Him. Remembering at all times who I am and to WHOM I’m speaking. The creation kneeling before the Almighty Creator of the universe ❤️🙏🏻
@@nadinecamara5123 I love this 🥰
Amen!!! This is a no criticism zone 🥰
God spoke the Bible so what better prayers than to use His word. Praying scripture is powerful because the prayer will line up with scripture. If one prays for something that doesn't line up with God's Word then God won't answer. The Holy Spirit will lead you to the scripture. However you don't need a prayer Bible
I love the prayer bible. I have run away from the bible, but when I ran across sisterita I am so excited to dust off my Bibles. I have to use my large print bible. I'm 72 years old and diabetic. My eyesight cannot take small print. I used to use the soap method. I love it! I'm so excited about putting structure in my time with God. I'm recovering from surgery, so He got my attention!❤❤
Thank you 💕
To God be the glory 🙌🏾🥰 God bless you 💜 I love to hear testimonies like this! I pray your recovery goes smoothly. You are most welcome 🤗
What’s the “soap method”? Fellow diabetic here. BLESSINGS!!!
@@wandarios SOAP is a simple method for reading and applying God's word to our lives. SOAP stands for Scripture, Observation, Application and Prayer
hope that helps
I first found sisterita and then you and a few others that i now follow. You each bring different ideas around prayer Bibles....and you are all a blessing to me.
Yes! My point exactly. We are all awesome 💜
Agree 100%!
Same for me! I love them all, so unique & different.
You DEFINITELY have to check out How to Faith a Life (Bible Nerds) with Faith she is incredible! Her step by step bible journaling and studying is soooo inspirational ! Definitely worth a look! I to follow many... You can never follow enough good creative Christian Woman! The more the merrier ❤
I just found sisterita still trying to figure out the method
❤Thank you for this dear Sister. I think I may know what you’re talking about. I came across that video and I felt the same way about that particular video series that was put out. One thing we know from the Word of God for certain is that God’s Word will do His work. His Word definitely does not return void. Yes you’re so correct that everyone will really need to pray about what subjects the Lord may be directing them to pray on & start there. I was so excited to do my prayer bible and then my kids became interested and is now praying God’s Word by themselves. 🥲 That’s huge! No one can tell us that God is not in this. This is an Amazing blessing! Be strong and of good cheer my sister. We’re doing what is meant to be done for such a time as this that we’re in. Also, my grandmother had a prayer Bible. She did not have tabs but pictures of everyone in the family along with underlines, written prayers, etc… This is not new by any means because I’m more than sure our grandparents and their parents did this previously.
You are most welcome 🤗 yes!!!! There is so much evidence that this is a blessing. I meant to mention in this video how I had the pleasure of connecting with other RUclipsrs, some even reached out to me. Also I’ve discovered more Christian Channels In the process. I’m reading so many testimonies! I’m overjoyed. God is good!
Also yes you are right about our grandparents. My mom even keeps pictures of us in her bible
❤❤❤
Show up and keep going. Good advice.
I totally agree with you.
“There is no wrong way when your heart posture is correct” amen sister!!
🥰
Yes
I just want to leave these comments because God lead me to your video today.
I was surfing YT for all kinds of bible related things and came across your video. I watched one of your videos earlier where you was showing the transparent sticky notes and watched a few others about the pens at DG but this video right here, it was like you were speaking to just me.
All the things you said helped me so much.
My mind raises all the time and my feelings are all over the place.
You was so gentle in the beginning of this video and spoke so kindly and I thank you for that because most videos I pull up if it doesn't catch my attention within a few min or even second its not for me. But this video intrigued me to the end.
I'm 63 years old and just getting into bible study even though I was raised in a Christian church as a child.
But now for the first time I hear God loud and clear and he's pulling me to come be closer to him and walk in his faith and its a wonderful feeling.
I also want to thank you in how you broke down different topics in this video. And helped me to go look for budget friendly items to get me on my way. I have a Bible in my Amazon cart that I am planning on purchasing. It will be my very first Bible I ever bought for myself. But thank you for all the tips on other journals, books, supplies I can look forward to adding to my journey.
Sorry for the long message but I just wanted to share you touched a soul today. May God bless you and I look forward to being a new subscriber.
🙏🏾 ❤
I don’t mind your long comment. It makes me smile and helps me to be reminded that God has me right where he wants me 💜 I’m glad you’re here and I pray other videos help you too 💜 I also pray God provided for your new Bible 🥰
❤
I really like the prayer Bible. I have 3 different versions that I like and created a different kind of prayers in each one. I am amazed that when I work on my Bibles God will show me another verse I didn't know, but needed at that time.
Yes God is so intentional isn’t he ?! 🥰 Nothing is by mistake 💜
This was a good message. You are very correct that we need to do our prayer Bibles as God directs each one of us to do. We need to listen to Him and not be sheep and follow along without consulting Him. Again, good message. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind comment and understanding 💜🥰
I love that you addressed this. In my opinion, even if someone was “copying” someone else, if it gets someone who discovers a channel that may not have seen the other channel, then it’s used for God’s glory. To be worried about “copying” shows that the glory is focused on the wrong person. In ALL things, the glory should be to God alone. I love that you highlighted that it’s the heart posture that’s the most important thing.
The SOAP method is a Bible study technique that stands for Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer.
The steps are:
~Scripture: Read or write out a short Bible passage.
~Observation: Note what you notice about the passage, such as the main message, important words, or ideas.
~Application: Consider how the passage applies to your life, and ask God for guidance.
~Prayer: Pray about what you've learned, and ask God to help you apply it to your life.
Char, I came across your channel a couple of days ago, and I’m truly thankful. I am a new Christian, and I appreciate everything I am learning. I love that you speak the truth with kindness, have seen so much negativity concerning the prayer bibles. I am loving your channel. ❤❤
Hello and welcome! I’m glad you are here! Me too!!! I can’t believe some of the things Christian’s are saying. I’m glad you enjoy my content 💜
I have seen some hate on the way some people do their prayer Bibles. You are so eloquent in reminding everyone that what works for one may not work for another. I am so glad I came across your channel.
Thank you! I’m glad you are here! Thank you for understanding 💜
This is a very wise and Christ led video! Thank you for sharing the Godly advice and pointing your viewers to consulting with God first and foremost! Beautiful, Christ centered advice and given with love and humility! ❤
To God be the glory 🙌🏾 You are most welcome 🤗
I love the cover on your Inspire Bible. The cover on one of my Bibles was getting to look ragged and started peeling (not leather). I just covered it with glue and a piece of tapestry and it is so beautiful now. I've been a Christian for many years. I think its exciting with this "craze" of prayer Bibles that many seem to be getting into God's word more. I just hope they are spending more time absorbing the scripture, than decorating their Bibles. The decorating is fun, but it's the Word and knowing the Word that gives life.
Yesss I agree! I know I’m commenting late and I’m sorry. It was so many comments, I didn’t expect so many lol but ironically I found your comment today and it’s the very subject I believe God wants me to speak on 💜
Thank you for your videos and lovr and compassion to God's word!!
Before I finish watching this video I want to tell any new believer that God knows your heart even w/o a prayer Bible. Seek Him 1st. I am a seasoned Christian (over 20 years) and because I teach preschoolers, I had always felt inadequate to pray corporately, because I thought I prayed very "simple" ....but God. He says to come to Him. And I did and I pray seeking Him and not what I think or what others may think.
When I first saw the video on the "prayer bible " I was happy because this a great way to learn more scripture. I remember my journey on this earth is to seek 1st the kingdom of God and all His righteousness...
Start w God and His word. This craft is not a must. For me, it's a great way to memorize scripture and maybe to gift to others with certain concerns and struggle w finding encouragement through the scripture.
Make this your journey with God.
Blessings
I love this and I love you!!! This is the type of comments I love to see!!!!! God bless you!!!!! 🥰
I love that you spoke on this because there’s no right or wrong way to have a prayer journal etc. Thank you for giving examples and for being a blessing and a light to others
Thank you! God bless you 🥰
Praise the Lord! Thank you for REAL & AUTHENTIC!
I might be 'Ol school' but I grew up with 1 bible. There was no extra money for multiple bibles. My 1 bible included everything, prayers, study, notes etc...highlighters were basic lol yellow,green,orange & blue.
I was 24 when I discovered promises books. A book filled with topics and scriptures.
The fact is that my bible is my sword.
Yes!!!!! I remember having basic highlighter colors. I remember how amazed I was when I came across a pack of very colorful pens. They were so beautiful to me! Lol I still can’t believe I went from having 1 bible to now
Thank you for sharing your experience and your thoughts with us. I appreciate your patience with us, and your willingness to help us with the focus on God.
You are most welcome 🤗 and thank you for being here and accepting me
Thank you for this vjddo. I am in my 70's. Have I prayed most my life? Yes. But, I will say that I have never been so present in my bible studies as I have been in the past few years. Had I heard the stories and the scriptures? Yes, but not like they are presented today by Bible teaching pastor's and students of the Word. We must always be mindful of those who teach the gospel. I am thankful that I CA navigate in the computer world and on RUclips. I have been inspired by a number of content creator's. I have prayed about how to study and be more prayerful. It didn't come easy for me. I have been fortunate enough to have several bibles to use for study, for journaling, and prayer. There are many ways to have your personal walk with the Lord. Everyone must find the right way for them. And if you don't agree or like what someone chooses, change the channel or don't say anything at all. I appreciate so many of you. Peace and blessings.
Oh my goodness!! You are spot on about the different Bibles. I worked at LifeWay and was so amazed at the different translations, whether it be a reference Bible (no study notes) or study Bibles with notes taking up most the page, note taking Bibles and Journaling Bibles. I have NLT's, NIV's, ESV (my fave), CSB (my other favorite), NKJV, KJV, NASB. They all speak to me. If I get stuck on a verse in one Bible, I'll pull out another and see what it says. God's Word is alive and active. Thank you so much for this video!! I'm subscribing!! Hugs and blessings to you!!
Wow thank you for your insight! I do the same. I go from bible to bible if I have to. You are most welcome 🤗
Thank you so much. I was really feeling overwhelmed and I came across your video. This has truly blessed my soul! God bless you
Aww I’m so glad I could help ❤ God bless you too 🥰
I started a prayer journal, just a month or so ago! I looked to so many of these RUclips videos as resources and as a reference and made decisions based on my need to focus in on my spiritual life and commitment to God and my prayers life. I’ve been so blessed by you, and many others in my search to find a workable plan. I have expanded the time I am in prayer and have been able to up the quality of my focus on prayer because the prayers are broken out into sections that move me through the set pattern to pray, the Lord’s Prayer! I have items I am still expanding on, like daily prompts that cover a different topic I care about, one topic a day. Each day when I pray, I select different specific prayers as I feel led. My prayer journal has been so helpful to me! Yes, there are doubters, but I pray for them and move on and do how feel led. Thanks so much for every one of your posts!
I think that is wonderful! Prayers are so powerful
My sista in Christ, I came across your vlog, and I say well said. I would like to say that I have seen a couple of videos on Prayer Bibles. We all serving God, and the information that the sisters took time to put the information on here to help others. That's a good thing because everyone is not on the same level when it comes to prayer. For some it's hard to pray in public or hard to pray for themselves or whatever the situation may be. But let's keep it decent. I say this to say let's keep building each other's up as a child of God. The prayer Bible is a very good ideam, Thanks for the information.
Thank you for commenting and being here!!!! And yes! We have a standard and that’s love and be kind!!! We all have something to bring to the table 💜
I love my prayer Bible! When I first saw a video about making one, I thought it was a brilliant idea. I did not feel pressured to do it or to copy hers. Ive struggled for years staying focused and as a very visual person, it helps greatly with that. As an artist I love expressing my creativity and having a useful tool as well. I realize it isn’t for everybody. I showed the video to my friend and she was overwhelmed by it. So do what works for you.
I do a YouVersion devotional daily with my sister. My husband and I listen to the Bible over two years (right now). I loved your video on scripture writing and it reminded me to start another scripture writing-I’m going to write out Psalms as my 2024 theme is ‘Precious Prayer’ as I want to build this discipline and conversations (NOT lists of requests😮). Psalms is a beautiful place for praying.
I hope you love the McArthur James study. I’ve found their handling of scripture so rich.
Your story of stuttering is interesting and encouraging. I agree with others that you are easy to listen to and you move at such a perfect pace for those of us that don’t do high intensity very well. Praise God.
Thank you for commenting! I needed this reminder that I am going at the pace God wants me too!!! I have been working on my prayers too. I’m working on giving him honor and glory first 💜
I'm an airhead a lot!!! During prayer: "Lord....."
And absolutely NOTHING comes to mind....more often than I like to admit (most of the time I'm exhausted and just can't think!). So, I'll ask the Holy Spirit to please do His thing as Paul says in Romans 8:26 that the Holy Spirit intercedes for us! Thank you, Lord, because words fail me so much!!
And, I was kind of thinking these same things! I have been so excited about getting my Bible in the mail. But I remind myself that it's not just a new Bible/book (which I get excited about getting)! This is a tool to strengthen my relationship with God. Don't be excited about getting a new Bible or making the new Bible pretty, because that is dangerously close to making it an idol. The way I see it, the devil has options, either make people turn away from the Bible or make it so materialistic that it more about having a pretty book that you "made" instead of this book helping you spend quality time with your Father making it and reading from it.
I hope this makes sense so that it helps someone.
Blessings and prayers for you, your family, and the people who watch your channel. Thank you so much for your time making these insightful videos! 😊
Your thoughts are my thoughts! I’ve been led to talk against making the Bible an Idle for a year now. It’s so easily done. I pray for balance always because we are human and we aren’t perfect. I pray we all come to this conclusion that it’s all about God and our relationship with him 💜
And you are absolutely welcome! And God bless you too 💜
I like that when I am too tired to put words together, the Holy Spirit can intercede with me to pray whatever is needed for the moment.
Generally I try to start by praying, Lord, thanks for… and please help with… and thank you for… in your name I pray, Amen. So it’s a time of praising, asking, and praising some more in my own way.
May this be helpful to others in the same situation.
I agree, praying about a prayer Bible before you even start is the best way to go about it! Im currently working on a Bible for myself and a friend who just got married and ive been asking God what to put in her Bible as well as mine. Ive watched SO many videos on people creating their own and everyone does it just a littlw different and each one is beautiful and unique to the woman that made it. Ive taken ideas from a lot of people. My Bible is 8x5 inches. My compact Bible i feel is too small. The one i bought for my friend is just slightly bigger, but its skinnier than the one i bought for myself. I feel like they are the perfect size for her and myself, and a lot of prayer went into it before i even chose the ones i bought.
I couldnt agree more with everything you had to say today. I think its just the video some people out there need to hear! Thank you for your wisdom, Charleen! (I hope i spelled that right, its how my sister spells it) ❤ May God bless you!
Thank you 😊 I tried to speak as plan a possible. I want people to hear my heart 💜 we are all unique and design and our bibles can be too 🤗 It’s Charlene lol I was name after someone off a soap opera 🤣 God bless you too!
Thank you for speaking on this point. I was starting to feel overwhelmed. Freedom 😊
You are most welcome 🤗
This was a really good video. You shared so many options for helping people start and keep the habit of praying. You have been blessed with creativity.
To God be the glory and thank you so much 😊
Such sound words. What a blessing to listen to your very wise guidance. I so appreciate how specific and clear your advice is. Thank you for always referencing scripture while you guide. I, like most of your viewers, can relate to everything you'v e addressed. Absolutely, the more I've been increasing my prayer life, the more I've been under attack. May the Lord protect you and keep you healthy as you continue to guide and teach your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. Amen🙏
Thank you!!! You are so kind! Don’t stop praying 🙏🏾 keep going. We are not alone in this battle. There is so much more work to do ❤ Thank you for taking time to comment
Thank you! I am not new to being a Christian, but I just found Prayer Bibles. Your “warning” drew me in to see…why? I understand what you are saying. The Lord used my very active thinking to learn from this video. I could go on & on……just thank you for this video, God definitely used it for me. God bless!
You are most welcome 🤗 To God be the glory 🙏🏾
yes, yes yes my sister in Christ. I know exactly what you are talking about and I am struggling in my own journey later in life digging into the Bible and prayer and I really count on and love the RUclips influencers like yourself and others who are so genuine. I have just started watching videos on a prayer Bible and I absolutely saw the diss video that I believe you are talking about and it hurt my heart and really set off a whole lot of questions in my own head about whether I’m doing things properly. I could not even finish that whole video yesterday because it hurt my heart to think that a person who is teaching the word of Christ to people search for guidance and how it made me feel and I cannot be alone in that. Thank you beautiful soul, for your truth.
This is EXCELLENT! I want to help other women /family learn to pray and this gives me so many solutions to help a variety of people in different walks of life, personalities and resources! Thank you for letting God use you so powerfully!❤❤❤
Thank you!!! You brought of a great point. I could also use this as a tool for others! I truly believe for years I was under the impression that I was the only one that didn’t know how to pray smh. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to speak on such things
So true- God is our Creator so He will know what prayer and study methods and styles work best for us. Thanks for making this so plain.
Amen and you are most welcome 🤗
Thank you for this much needed video!!!! Thank you for reminding us that we are all different and what works for one person may not work for someone else. It makes me sad to think that people are putting negative comments about the heart felt Bibles people are creating on the Sisterita Facebook page. I was always taught that if you can’t say something good about someone, don’t say anything at all!!! However wee know that satan is always busy and he will do anything and use anybody that he can to defeat anything that glorifies our Heavenly Father….the devil is a liar plain and simple, and he’s always going to try to tear us down-to tear God down. Again, thank you for this much needed
video, it was truly an encouragement. I love your channel✝️🙏🏽✝️🙏🏽✝️
You are most welcome! Yea I got sad too, always angry. It’s frustrating when we should know better but I’m always reminded God has enough grace and mercy for us all no matter the maturity level. It’s so beautiful and amazing the connections, the love, the kindness, and sharing that has take place because of the prayer bible. I want this goodness to last forever! I can’t even put into worlds how it feels to be apart of something that brings us closer to God and one another 💗
My sister-in-law shared the prayer Bible with ,e so that we could start it together. She bought me a compact Bible and I quickly realized the size wasn’t going to work. I bought a devotional that I’ve been using to help me with my themes initially and it has made me go deeper into The Word. I decided to keep it simple and use post it tabs and matching highlighters. I may put some Christian stickers in my front cover but that’s it. I didn’t want to get caught up in my prayer Bible being cute (I’m also a planner). My devotional starts with who Jesus is….I’m grateful that I didn’t get too caught up with looking at a bunch of videos.
Your sister in law sounds like a blessing! I too quickly realized I must keep things simple. I got caught of in journaling hard and got so consumed on what perfection looked like that I had anxiety about it. I’m so glad I’m free now! I’m a note taker and always wrote things. This has helped me with praying and studying. And yes it’s ALOT of videos now 🥰 I try to be cautious.
Love 💕 your neighbor as yourself, there is no commandment greater than these
Amen 🙏🏾
Amen! Thank you very much for your video🙏 I watched quite a few on Prayer Bibles, and also found myself wondering what I should do? Which Bible to use, which themes to use? But I kept coming back to...none of what I want to do fits into what I'm seeing. What if I do it wrong? This really guided my in what God was saying to me all along. Do your own thing!!! I LOVE everyone's Prayer Bibles, but sometimes God wants us to do it different and stop copying others🥳🤩And that doesn't at all mean that others are doing it wrong💜
Yes!!! Your comment is exactly one of the many reasons I made this video. I don’t want anyone to feel incomplete or less than because of their differences. I’m so glad God confirms things 💜
Thank you everyone for sharing your thoughts, but I'm new to this lingo I haven't heard of this , thanks ❤
So glad I came across your channel!!! I was struggling with the idea of starting a prayer bible, feeling overwhelmed that I "needed to buy" this or that...thank you for simplifying this process! God bless you!!!
I’m so glad I could help! Thank you God for gifting me this information 🙌🏾 God bless you too 🥰
thank you so much for this video!! I am so glad I found this!! Praise the Lord!!
God is good and you are most welcome 🤗
Thank you for your video❤ I was so disheartened to see the negative videos. We are all brothers and sisters in Christ and you are right they should have gone to the individual if they had an issue. One video said that they didnt have the time to watch exceot for 10 minutes of the sisterita video because they are too busy. They did two videos stating they were too busy to watch but yet had plenty of time to give an opinion!
Did you leave this feedback on that channel that you’re talking about? And are you sure that creator meant what you think she meant?
I know I’ve watched a few videos from a creator who seems to be making her own prayer Bible series now, and although she said some of the things that you’ve summarized here in your comment I did not interpret her comments or series as a critique but as a way of showing that there is no one perfect way. Yes, her comment could have been better phrased, but with all due respect your comment is coming off more critical of her than her comment was of Sisterita.
I watched that video and that comment didn't sit well with me.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO! JUST A WOMAN KEEPIN IT REAL AND I LOVE WHAT YOUR SAYING! I'M NEW TO JESUS. I FINALLY "HEARD" THE HOLY SPIRIT! :)
You are most welcome 🤗 To God be the glory 🙏🏾🙌🏾
Thank you for your Christian rebuke in love. That's a whole prayer subject we could all use in our new prayer Bible.
You are most welcome and absolutely! I strive to speak as I would want someone to speak to me 🥰
❤ loved what you said, I totally agree. Your uniqueness comes from God and God alone.
Thanks so much for sharing this because one of the things you mentioned was exactly what I did. I watched a video, bought a Bible and copied what someone else did in their Bible without first praying to God about it. Now I need to go back and start over with God’s direction for me.
Love your Sweet spirit and wise Discernment. I will definitely Pray for Gods guidance before I begin adding the Prayer Bible as you suggested. Sending Love & Blessings from PEI Canada🙏🇨🇦🙏
I love love love this message. And I needed it. Thank you thank you thank you! ❤
You are most welcome 🤗
I'm going to start my prayer bible (I just got all of the supplies). I'm excited to be creative AND in the Word!
I pray everything went well with you ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your prayer journey with us. I especially feel what you say about how each of our minds work in their own unique way, and our Creator knows each one of us intimately ❤. I feel better about my quirky over-analytical mind now. God has a purpose for everything, even when I don't understand it yet. You're such an encouraging teacher ❤
You are most welcome and amen 🙏🏾 God is so strategic beyond our understanding! 💜
This is so real! We're humans. Sometiems we're tired, in pain, discouraged, sometiems it's effort. I've been feeling down because I find my faith and walk take effort and I wonder why I'm a "faulty" Christian. Thank you for this
Wise words ❤
Those tiny Bibles are cute but my first requirement was font size. I settled on an Abide Bible because it also had interesting ideas for engaging in the scripture.
Yeah I have a few tiny bibles that I end up not using for that very reason
Thank you for your great video! I have been writing my scripture prayers in a journaling Bible for years, the new prayer Bible movement tempted me, but I know myself well enough to know that I will be distracted by the creativity. I will be sticking to writing my prayers without the art and enjoy seeing other people's beautiful payer Bibles.
I just wanted to say thank you for making this video. I have said the same thing to every person that has asked me about my prayer life and those who are new are new Christian walk. I will be sharing this video if it is ok with you
Absolutely share away! 💜 Thank you for understanding 😊
THIS!!!!!! This video is everything ive been thinking. I stumbled upon a prayer bible video and have been so excited to do one and get in the Word and get back to PRAYING the Word; but ive seen videos and comments on other prayer bible videos that are very discouraging and confusing and make me question my motives and should I really be doing this. So thank you for posting this video!!! I can't wait to make mine!!
Yes yes just push through just like Paul did.
Prayer Bibles seem to be the new popular thing right now. I do have a few other vlogs on it which I'm going to watch. Thank you for posting this Charlene.
I’ve been taking time to watch so many. I certainly have to be disciplined because I have to keep studying through Genesis.
I want to say thank you for this video. I needed this. This is helping me before I start out on my Prayer Bibe Journey. God bless.
Yay!!! I’m glad it was helpful to you! I really want to give someone peace about it 💜 God bless you too 🥰
When you have problems putting something out there for God it usually means the devil doesn't like it and is trying to get in your way! Thank you for pushing past the devil!
By Gods grace I found your channel. You are speaking what I need to hear. Push through the spiritual attacks and continue to provide inspired content
God is good isn’t he?! And so intentional. He knows exactly what we need! Thank you for the encouragement 💜
Very encouraging thoughts and ideas. Just like I was sitting and fellowship with you this morning. God honoring. Thank you!
Awww thank you so much!!!!! You are most welcome 🤗 I pray you have a good rest of your day 🥰
Thank you for taking the time to teach and share!!
You are most welcome 🤗
I love that I just found your channel. I’m just learning about the Bible. I have a yearning. I’m catholic. I am glad to hear your words as I kept seeing what I perceived as craft projects, I just didn’t understand.❤
I’m glad you are here! And I’m sorry if any of what you have seen confused you or causes discomfort. Talk to God about it. I pray my video has helped in some way 💜
This is so good and encouraging. I love how you diversify your prayer tools to help you facilitate prayer depending on how God leads you that day. Great ideas. Thanks so much.
You are most welcome ❤
Thankyou for your openess and honesty. I'm in a slump right now and you encouraged me.
You are most welcome 🤗 I’m glad I could encourage you 🥰
I just discovered the concept of prayer Bibles. I really appreciate your input! I’m happy to subscribe to your channel, my sister in Christ! Blessings!!
Im new to your channel. YT just suggested your video. You spoke so much truth in this video. New subscriber on this video. May God continue to bless you. This was very encouraging. I will watch more of your videos. ❤
I have been save for over 30 some thing years. This is the first that I have seen a prayer bible, this is true the video that you are saying. I have had a hard time finding stuff for the KJV Bible. I picked thing and looked at the back of my bible and what I have all ways prayed for . Have a blessed days
I bought around 10-15 different Bibles off of Amazon, in the Clearance/return section 😢. ( I want to save them all ❤.) But, each one has it's own purpose for me. But, my most favorite...... I have 3 of thee exact same one😊. One was already "arted" in. One is "read only" the last is perfect and will remain uncracked, perfect, and beautifully whole in everyone's eyes. It will be given at some point. ❤
I have Biblebeen struggling with this topic for a year or longer after I have tried numerous way (prayer bible). Thank you for your video I will change my thought to a more personal positive attitude

You are most welcome!! I’m glad you found me 🥰
I am glad that I ran across your video. It leveled out a prayer bible, (that I am pumped about) but the wisdom you pointed out is important in creating and using a prayer bible. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration! Your Sister in Christ!
Hugs, thank you for showing God's love
You are welcome 🤗
I agree with you. When I began mine I made a list of what I needed for myself for the first one.
It’s so helpful to put your thoughts on paper. I thank God we have what we need 🥰
So glad i found yoy...What a great video! I wrote a few things in my notebook, thank you! Blessings on your ministry.
Thank you and you are most welcome 🤗 God bless you 💜
Thanks for sharing your heart on this subject. I’m sure it was not an easy video to make. I made one and love it but your warnings for new Christians is very valid. Amen!
You are most welcome 🤗 and it wasn’t easy at all! Thank you 😊 I pray my heart was heard 💗
I definitely prayed for this. Appreciate you for sharing!
You are most welcome 🤗
Thank you for this video. I have had the same thoughts. Be blessed
You are most welcome 🤗 I’m glad to know I’m not alone!
I'm blessed to have many Bibles in multiple translations and all types (ie. study, daily, etc). But I only have 1 Bible that I have chosen to mark up with notes, underlining, circling. I love that Bible - it is very special to me. If there's a particular day that I need some extra encouragement or guidance, I can grab that one Bible and, just for example, flip through the Psalms and read all the verses I have circled. It's amazing how different my frame of mind is afterwards. But I have found that in my daily reading and praying, those marks tend to become a distraction to me; my mind focuses on the verses I have circled and underlined in the past, and I may be missing something *new* the Lord may need to show me. So when I read and pray, I prefer a blank slate. I read slowly and pray back verses one by one. It's amazing how one verse can be read hundreds of times on different occasions and one day speaks to you like never before, just when God knows you need it. His Word truly is living & active.
Great video and wonderful resources!! Thanks for sharing!! And I agree, praying first for God's guidance!!
Thank you 😊 God knows best 💜
Its OK to write highlight add stickers what ever you make your bible to grow in the word. As long as you dont let it sit on the shelf . ❤this video!!
You are such a blessing!! So glad I found you because I have found my Sisterita, Jessica!
We are called to community not competition.❤❤
Yes!!!! God is so intentional! God bless you sister 💜
I just discovered your videos. After watching the first one, I definitely subscribed. Thank you for this ministry! May God richly bless you!
Aww thank you 😊 I’m so glad you did God bless you too 🥰
You popped up in my recommendations and I am so glad it did ! As a Great Grandma, my "prayer Bible" is surely different than others, as it should be in my eyes. I did pray about if and how I wanted to set up a Compact Bible. Well, He knew. I received a beautiful gift of a Giant Print Compact Filament Bible. I can take it with me, too many Dr's appts! Anyway, it has been such a blessing. I have a section on healing that has been used often already. Praying for and with people that need a physical, mental or spiritual healing. New sub here Sister! God bless you and keep you and yours !!
I love this!!!!!!!! I’m so glad you are here and decided to stay 😊 God provided you with exactly what’s needed. I tell my husband often that his health situation will help him reach those in similar situations. God got us right where we need to be ❤

Keep sharing your ideas that God gives you. God bless you and your ministry.
You are confirmation my dear. I was having a moment of quiet and all these ideas came rushing to me. And I often say God why?! I’m only one person, I can only do but so much. But God always confirms my ideas are meant for others 💜thank you!
In our weakness He is strong. Thank you for sharing.
Yes and amen!!!! 💜you are most welcome
Every relationship with God is different and personal. Journaling Bibles and Prayer Bibles are great, if that is what are you are led to do. I have 4 Bibles. One is from an aunt that is with God and one is a small Bible I received on my 14th birthday. The others 2 are my every day Bibles. They are for reading, studying, and praying. I do underline, write notes, and pray scriptures with these. I am not led to set them a side for one particular purpose.
I love all of your ideas. Thank you so much for sharing. God Bless.
You are such a blessing! Thank you for the words of encouragement, ideas and suggestions. And especially, thank you for reminding us to keep it all God-centered and God-inspired. You're a gift. Thank you. Cheers~
You are most welcome 🤗 you are too kind 💜
God love’s beauty. God created our beautiful universe. Creativity is a gift from God. I chose to accept that gift. ❤. I have to use card magnifiers to read my purse bible. Age affects us all eventually.
God bless you! And amen! Yeah slowly and surely my eyes reminds me I’m getting older. I’m grateful for what I have 🥰
@@BloomBiblically I need a LARGE PRINT BIBLE. IM 46
Glad I found your channel . Amazing ideas ❤
Thank you this is a very good video. Use what you have and what works for you have you sticky notes and journals for years.
I went to the post office today to get my prayer Bible. I didn’t know it was a pocket book and not compact. I came home to RUclips on how to do a prayer Bible to figure out how I should use this because it was so small. Then your video came up with the exact same Bible. I’m definitely going to make it work. Thanks for doing this video. I appreciate it. ❤
Charlene... your video is EXACTLY what I needed today. I'm so grateful God brought you to my feed today. Thank you for sharing. God is so good. Merry Christmas and praying for many blessings for you and yours. God bless you.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience.
