Seek First: 31 Day Prayer Journal Marisa Taylor and Mary Teel. Independently published by Birmingham Metro Baptist Association, 2023.
The Birmingham Metro Baptist Association invites us to celebrate missionaries and to seek God first every day in prayer. Marisa Taylor, BMBA church resource specialist, and Mary Teel, ministry intern, have collected quotes from missionaries and paired them with verses of Scripture to direct each day’s prayerful writing.
Elisabeth Elliot, missionary to Ecuador from 1952 to 1963, is quoted on Day 20. “God has promised to supply all our needs. What we don’t have now, we don’t need now.” The authors pair this quote from Elliot with Philippians 4:19–20: “And my God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Chris Jesus. To our God and Father be glory forever and ever.”
The journal then has two pages to write, draw or outline thoughts or prayers.
At the end of the 31 days, the authors provide brief biography sketches for each missionary, including Jim Elliott, Annie Armstrong and Billy Graham. The journal is attractive and easy to use. Find it on Amazon.
