Introduction
Dr. John Fallahee’s recent Logos webinar walked through practical ways to weave prayer into every step of Bible study. Whether you’re a seasoned scholar or just beginning to explore Scripture, the tools he highlighted can help you keep God’s heart at the center of your learning.
Building a Prayer List
Logos lets you create a dedicated Prayer List where you jot down specific requests—cities, people, or even broad topics like “unity in the church.” The interface is simple: Documents > New > Prayer List, then add a name, topic, and notes. A screenshot shows the layout you’ll see when you start a new list.
Setting Reminders to Keep Prayer on Your Mind
After you add an item, click “Pray for this item.” You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly reminder, even choosing specific days of the week. The reminder appears as a card on your dashboard, making it easy to see what you’re praying for at a glance.
Using Tags to Organize and Seek God’s Guidance
Tags turn your prayer list into a searchable database. Add a tag like state or family to each entry; later, you can filter the list to see all prayers related to a particular area. Tags also help you notice patterns in what you’re asking God for, encouraging deeper reflection.
Leveraging the Upcoming Prayer Book for Focused Intercession
Logos is preparing a Prayer Book with 12 categories—family, local church, world affairs, and more. This structure can guide you in creating balanced intercessory lists, ensuring you cover both personal and communal concerns.
Connecting Prayer with Your Study Flow
- As you highlight a passage, immediately add a note that includes a related prayer—this keeps the spiritual intent tied to the text.
- Use the Copy Link feature to link dictionary entries; the link can act as a prompt: “How does this word reflect God’s character?”
- At the end of a study session, pause for a brief prayer, acknowledging God’s guidance and asking Him to apply the insights you’ve gained.
Final Thoughts: Prayer as a Lens for Scripture
By embedding prayer tools into your Logos workflow, you’re not just studying the Bible—you’re inviting God into the very act of learning. The webinar encourages you to treat each study session as a conversation with the Divine, using the technology to keep the focus on God’s glory.
