I really loved this devotional book. These devotionals were perfect to start my morning off with. It really did allow for me to pause and pray and spend some time connecting with my heavenly Father. The devotionals were short and sweet but had the perfect words to touch your heart. Highly recommend this to start off your day with or end your day with before bed.

Thank you NetGalley and Barbour Publishing for a copy in return for my honest review.

I enjoyed the devotional book, Pause & Pray 180 Encouraging Devotional Prayers for Women from Barbour Publishing. Each day’s reading was a short devotion on a Bible verse and how it applies to different areas of our lives as women. I appreciated that they were short and to the point, thus enabling me to spend time in prayer without being overwhelmed with a large time commitment. I liked that each day had a title letting me know what the main focus was for that day’s devotion. It will make it easy in the future to also look up a quick prayer when I have a particular need. I also liked the Scripture references printed in the back of the book. This short devotional book would make a wonderful gift for a family member or friend. (I received a copy of this book from the publisher. I was not required to leave a positive review. All opinions are my own.)

This is a really nice book of devotional prayers for women. I have already purchased a physical copy to use in my personal prayer time during the prayer emphasis at my church this month. The book itself is pretty, and the prayers are relevant to the world we live in today. Each entry is concise and includes a scripture to meditate on.

#PauseandPray #NetGalley
This prayer book has prayers for every worry. With prayer titles such as the following: Be Still, Breathe Prayers, Choosing Joy, Our God Will Fight with us, Loving Others, Navigating Decisions, Miracles Everyday, Fear Cannot Conquer Me, I Can Never Be Forgotten and many more. I loved this phrase from one of the prayers: Even though my tears blur my vision and I can't see where the pieces of my heart have been scattered, You pick up the fragments and put me back together again. Each prayer has a scripture to accompany it and a list of each scripture is found at the end of the book.

A gem of a book. Loved this one and it's definitely worth gifting. A succor during trying times and a lot of it did resonate with me.

Only thing was the layout was in a landscape mode, making it a bit difficult to read on multiple devices


Thank you Netgalley and Barbour Publishing for the ARC

This devotional is a wondaful collection of short prayers with accompanying Scripture verses that cover a variety of topics from gratitude to asking God for help to grace to forgiveness. These prayers can be used as a quick reset during your day. The book does exactly what the title says; it encourages you to pause and pray.

I will be purchasing the published version of this. The short devotional were a great way to start the day. The formatting for the arc just made it hard to read.

Barbour Staff have done it again with another fantastic devotional. This time, it's Pause and Pray, set up to help you pray a simple little prayer that centers on different topics like Right Path, Lord, I'm Tired, Less Drama, More Peace, Holding on to Hope, just to name a few random topics. There are 180 days of devotions that start with a topic, a short little prayer that helps center you and bring you to develop your prayer life with focused content, and a scripture that ties it all together. You are encouraged to even take these prayers and a journal and make them your own, or journal your thoughts of reflection as you read the prayers and scripture. I also love that the scripture used is from various translations as well. Very well done. Great devotional to just help one pause...and pray.

They are very simple prayers, but I really liked them. It's the kind of book that helps us find words to pray. I thought it was really cool to have a specific verse at the end of each prayer too.

Sometimes in life, peace comes through giving life over to a Higher power & realizing that no matter how hard we try, we are not always in control. Life has twists and turns that are totally beyond our choices. This little book full of thoughts based on the Bible is a comfort in every day life as we turn some of the control over to God. Though this book is non-denominational, it is Bible based. I found each of the little prayers reached an inner part of my soul and were an excellent springboard to thoughts and deeper ideas reaching out to allow me to talk to God.

Pause and Pray

Sometimes life is busy and we hit the ground running, but just like a car that needs fuel to run so do we.
When we try to do things in our own strength we quickly find that we are out of gas and can't go on.
God desires for us to seek him daily through prayer, and his word, so that we will grow to rely on his strength. and not our own.
This beautiful book of prayers will help you to seek his face through his word and focus on fulfilling his purpose for us. An encouraging reminder to pause and pray and seek his face daily.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC for an honest review.
