Are you facing circumstances that seem hopeless? Struggling to cope with day to day challenges? Concerned about loved ones dealing with problems?
Deidra Ahlers dealt with similar issues . . . and finally found help through prayer. In Pray, Lost Children, for You Are Loved she tells how she learned that prayer was the answer. She shares many of her personal prayers, along with prayers she realizes now she could have prayed earlier in her life for her sons, her siblings, and others in her life.
Deidra says, "The prayers I've written are to aid you in your walk with God, your Father. All the prayers in this book can be for all people and were written for everyone, no matter their circumstances. These prayers can be a tool in praying for yourself and for others."
God wants a relationship with you. He wants to hear your hopes, your needs, and your intercession for others. He wants you to simply talk with Him in sincerity and authenticity about your feelings and everything in your life.
Eloquent words are not necessary when you pray. God, viewing you as His child with His overflowing love, looks at your heartyour intentionsin prayer. He already knows what you're thinking, and prayer is an opportunity to be honest and relational with Him. In your own words, simply share with Him what's going on in your life, how you feel, and what you desire. Ask Him for your desires and for the help you need and do the same on behalf of others.
Deidra hopes you will come to realize, as she did, that Jesus is the answer to every problemand you can meet Him in prayer . . . anytime, anywhere.
