Writing has been something I have done as a hobby for many years.  I have always enjoyed writing, but I never knew it would be a part of the plan God would have for my life.  I actually didn’t know what my purpose was until I was in my late 30’s.  I had inquired of the Lord and one day He told me that my gift was that I was an encourager and that I was to encourage His people, so that’s what I did.  I took every opportunity to do that whenever anyone was discouraged or needed a word, and if you know me, you probably already know that.  However, I never knew that my prayers on my journey to freedom would be used to create a book of prayers to help others find their way to freedom as well.  I thank God because He blessed my life so much on this journey.  He has given me the knowledge and understanding of His word, discernment of His Spirit, an ear to hear Him, the ability to write, the courage to be obedient, and the honor of being chosen.

A Journey to Freedom Through Prayer came about after years of being bound in fear, anger, and depression.  I finally had enough of living in the pain of my past and wanted to be free.  I was tired of being angry and depressed all the time and could no longer live being afraid. I wanted to live in the freedom that God’s word said I could.  I no longer wanted to live in the shadow of the tragedy of my past.  I realized that I could choose to either continue to live in the past, or by faith, place my trust in God in the hopes of having the abundant life He said I could have.  I finally submitted to God and allowed Him, through prayer, to begin to uncover the issues of my past as I sought to release the pain so that He could heal my heart.  Then, that is when my journey began through prayer and fasting.
