Many will see and fear And put their trust in the Lord. (Psalm 40:1–3) Boa, K. (1997). Handbook to prayer : Praying scripture back to God. Atlanta: Trinity House.

(1 Timothy 3:8–9) Boa, K. (1997). Handbook to prayer : Praying scripture back to God. Atlanta: Trinity House.
- Jan. 15 -A Prayer of Renewal. May God grant me, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in my inner being, so that Christ may dwell in my heart through faith.

(Ephesians 3:16–19) Boa, K. (1997). Handbook to prayer : Praying scripture back to God. Atlanta: Trinity House.
