Praise the Lord everyone. This book on prayer was written in dedication to my dad the late Charles D. Smith Sr. and my mom Virginia. Before my dad passed, he prophesied so many powerful words from the Lord into my life. One of the prophecies was to go get my thesis that I wrote on prayer. He said, "It shall be a best seller." Furthermore, he said to me go collect all my journals. These journals will become self-help books that will help nation upon nation. This book on prayer has been written with these prophesies in mind. Like my father, my mom devoted her life to God. She has always been my prayer partner and I thank God for her every day. She is truly a Proverbs 31 woman and a prayer warrior. Her prayers have served as a catalyst for this book and other books to be written. In addition to the prayers and prophecies of my mother and father, my grandmother taught me from a small child to pray. Up until the last time I saw her before God called her home that is what we did. I can recall standing by her hospital bed praying. Like my father, she too prophesied powerful words from the Lord into my spirit. Prayer has been instilled in me. It is out of my life of prayer and prophecy that I wrote this book, "PUSH". I pray that as you read the pages of this book that you will be educated, equipped and encouraged to keep praying until something happens. I just find myself praying all the time. The truth of about prayer is you don't have to speak it out your mouth. You can simply close your eyes, open your heart and talk to God. Just allow the spirit of the living God to have His way in your life. One of the best ways to do this is by praying without ceasing [See 1Thessalonians 5:16]. You can pray at any time or in any place. Dear reader let me tell you through the power of prayer God has done so many good things for my family and me. Now I pray God's blessings upon you as you read this book from the beginning to the end. May God deliver, heal and set you free from whatever is holding you back or standing in your pathway.

P.U.S.H. (Pray Until Something Happens) Hannah was excited to head back home to where she spent her youth days in a peaceful countryside. The joyous reunion turned into a nightmare when a freak accident flung Hannah off the back of the tractor which landed her under the huge back wheel. She woke up trapped in a hospital bed, plagued by excruciating nightmares when she discovers that her nightmares were manifesting themselves into reality. Her world was turned upside down from the physical and psychological injuries she suffered. Her dreams were shattered when her husband’s betrayal resulted in a divorce. Instead of growing old together Hannah was confronted with the reality of selling her home that represented stability and facing financial insecurity. This was the last straw when her business doors had to close. It was like an eclipse, the darkness briefly covering her life. Her heartache and pain were unwelcome intruders. Sorrow seemed to stalk Hannah as she reflected and grappled with the perplexing questions, trying to understand where it went wrong. In spite of the injustice she was driven by a sense of purpose and prayed more fervently than ever before. Her faith and trust in God kept her determined because beyond the darkness there was light.

A devotional book

This revolutionary book will explain what God wants for and from us when we petition Him for his will to manifest “on Earth as it is in Heaven,” and how to understand the difference. Do you ever feel as if, despite your spirituality and faith, something significant is missing? Most teenagers and college students, as well as tens of millions of adults, are still striving to figure out the purpose and meaning of their lives. The natural struggle for faith in something intangible can be compounded by incorrect teachings and contradictory explanations of the workings of God in our lives. How does “free will” really work? What does it mean to ask for God’s will? When things happen in life, how do you really know whether that is God’s will? Is there really any point in praying for His will if we can’t influence it? These haunting personal questions became the genesis of PUSH as Matthesius sought answers. Now, he unpacks the powerful biblical truths he learned—the result of deep revelation from discovering God and constantly seeking to know him with all his heart. PUSH is about helping you discover God’s dream for your life so you become the blessing you were meant to be. It is about helping you truly embrace the power of prayer and understand what that means instead of simply treating it as a platitude you offer when someone is struggling. This book will instill confidence and promote vision. PUSH will stir you to take action, to remain vigilant, and Pray Until Something Happens.

"Pray until something happens" is the message that the author wants to convey. This book contains the author's prayer journal from the years 2010-2014. She documents the prayers and how they were answered.
