If you want peace in prayer, start by praying God’s Word.
• When you don’t know what to pray, pray God’s Word back to Him.
• Stop striving for the right words—start agreeing with God’s Word.
• Prayer doesn’t require perfection—just Scripture and honesty.

Suggested Interview Questions:
1. Before Praying the Word was a book, it was a personal
need. Can you share the moment when you realized your own
prayers weren’t enough—and Scripture had to lead?
2. What if the problem isn’t that people don’t pray enough—
but that they’ve been praying without God’s words? How
does that shift how we understand prayer?
3. You write prayers for anger, fear, shame, and anxiety—emotions people often hide
from God. Was there a time you realized God wasn’t offended by your honesty, but
waiting for it?
4. Anxiety can feel like a roller coaster ride that keeps pulling back into motion—even
after you think the ride is over. Why is anxiety so persistent, and how does praying
Scripture interrupt that cycle differently than ordinary prayer or positive thinking?
5. Many sincere Christians pray faithfully and still feel anxious, stuck, or unheard. Why
do you think that disconnect happens?
6. You’ve walked through moments when control vanished—illness, uncertainty, fear.
Can you share a moment when you had no strength left to pray, and God met you
anyway?
7. If God already gave us His words in Scripture, why do we keep trying to pray without
them—and what does that cost us?
8. Your prayer rhythm always begins with Scripture. What happens inside us when we
start with God’s Word instead of our emotions?
9. This book invites people to slow down—to pray, breathe, and journal. Why is stillness
so difficult for us, and why is it often where peace finally shows up?
10. If someone opens Praying the Word feeling exhausted, distracted, or afraid, what do
you hope happens in their heart by the time they say “Amen”?
