Praying with Jane by Rachel Dodge

- 
Praying  with Jane"  is a devotional book based on  Jane Austin's  prayers.  It is  very personal and practical.  There  is a prayer first  . Then the author explains  how it is practical and then  has a  prayer.   There are many topics   Rachel   reviews in this book.  She  says pride and vanity cause   blindness.  It is  easy to lose sight of  God when we are prideful.  We need to look at life from God''s perspective. If we do not our pride can  blind us to  our  weaknesses. Another example is   Jane  asked for the Lord's  temperament to   be infused into her.  We   often can be challenged by   people around us  and by having His  temperament in us we   can   interact with His character around us and  be more Christlike to others who challenge us. Another  example is  We are to commend ourselves to His  goodness instead of  worrying  about our concerns.  WE often obsess over situations we can not change. Proverbs   18:10  the name of the Lord is a strong tower. We are to  go to the strong tower for strength and ask Him to  be our strong tower.  She  also  prayed that the joy of the Lord would be her strength.  This  book is  deep , rich and personal.  It  takes passages of  Jane  Austen's prayers and    ties them to our lives.  I am thankful to have been able to review this book for Bethany publishers and   the book was given to me by  netgalley.
