How true! We all know that prayer and reading/meditating on God's Word are the foundations of a vital, growing relationship with Christ...the source of spiritual strength and stamina.
Put them together... pray the scripture into your life...now that's real power.
A resource I highly recommend is the book, The Power of Praying Through the Bible by Stormie Omartian to help develop this habit that yields spiritual encouragement and strength.
Omartian journeys with readers from Genesis to Revelation and reveals how God designed prayer so that they can: communicate with Him, embrace the promises of Scripture; release burdens to God’s care; walk with Jesus daily; listen to the Spirit’s leading Stormie brings home the truths and the wonder of God’s promises. In each devotion, Omartian gives lists a scripture passage, gives a focus verse, a brief commentary, and prayer applying the verse to our lives.
This book is a tremendous blessing to me. I often read it on breaks at work, and have given copies as gifts.
