Several times her attempts to escape ended with her father and mother finding her and bringing her back. It was by the hand of God that she was finally able to escape for good.

This is a Scriptural based book on prayer. It cites over 200 references in both the New and Old Testaments. The Bible has much to say about prayer. It is a very important topic. This book answers many questions that believers have about prayer. Why their prayers are not answered. Which prayers are always answered. It explains how to pray. Where to pray. How often one should pray. When to decline praying and numerous Scriptural details that can help an individual’s prayer life. Prayer is a significant part of a believer’s relationship with the Father. It also discusses the things that have produced ineffective prayers. The key problem with most people’s prayers is unforgiven sins. The solution is both simple and complex: sincerely praying forgiveness prayers. The author identifies three basic prayers that when prayed correctly and sincerely are always answered in the affirmative. God expects us to be honest with Him. The key is Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane: Matthew 26:39-44 When Jesus was facing a terrible death on the cross He asked if possible that the Father would spare Him. Nevertheless, He gave believers the example that they should always ask that the Father override our wants in favor of His will being done! Prayer is not reciting a series of magic words that cause things to happen! God is sovereign! He can do anything that He chooses to do. The Holy Bible mentions some of the answers that He has already pre-determined. He is consistent and does everything in agreement with His written Word. God is perfect. If He were to change He would be other than perfect!
