Prayer points
Prayer points for what you are actually facing
Real situations, each with its anchor verse, prayer points built from Scripture, declarations to speak out loud, and an honest note about the practical steps that belong alongside the praying. Every verse is shown in full so you can check it — you are not praying somebody's opinion back at God.

A word about prayer points. These are not incantations and the wording is not magic. They are Scripture turned into speech, so that you have something to say when you have run out of your own words. Change them. Pray them badly. God is listening to you, not auditing your phrasing.
