I remember as a child kneeling bedside with my mommy, saying the same prayer as always, "Now I lay me down to sleep" .... In those days I did not realize that prayer was important or that God was anxiously awaiting to hear from me, and even now He still waits.

Throughout these pages I have laid bare my soul when it comes to meeting my Lord, my God, my Savior. In my 65 years I have learned much about prayer and have committed myself to journaling my prayers so that they might in some small way be a help to others.

God speaks to us on a spiritual level but also on a need to know basis. He greatly desires for us to share our needs, wants and our love with Him.

I pray now that as you experience the heart of God within these pages, as my Lord has reached out to me. May you also feel the great love, mercy and grace He holds out to us all when we kneel before His throne in a journey through prayer.
