{"product_id":"2940151209816","title":"CONGREGATIONAL PRAYERS BY THE WORD","description":"Congregational Prayers by the Word is a book of prayers that can be used as is in the church as well as instruction for confident praying in any setting. Daisy Marsh Ferguson is an eighty-eight-year-old prayer warrior who received encouragement from her bishop who asked, \"How old is too old to fulfill your dreams?\" She writes of the beginning of her prayer ministry:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the ladies in charge of the We Care Ministry at my church asked me if I would say the prayer for their gathering. I said \"Yes\" because I was too ashamed to say \"No.\" At the time I only knew how to pray a simple prayer but not how to pray in front of a congregation. So the following day I started pacing the floor and saying, \"God, please teach me how to pray, please Lord. I don't want to embarrass myself, Lord, and I don't want to embarrass you.\" Then I clearly heard a soft voice said to me: \"Pray by my Word.\" Immediately I took my Bible and started reading word after word. I put prayer to them, and wrote them on the tablet of my heart. When I went to the gathering, I prayed without feeling any stage fright, and my sisters and brothers all said that it was a beautiful prayer. I came home thanking and praising God and saying, \"God, thank you for being there with me! I did not embarrass myself, and I did not embarrass you, Lord.\" And instantly the same soft voice said to me to write a book of prayers and have it published. I did not question God because I had just proven how great He is.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI love you, Lord. Amen.","brand":"Xulon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47162955268336,"sku":"2940151209816","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940151209816_p0.jpg?v=1764008180","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940151209816","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
