"On any given day or moment, our lives can change dramatically. We can be depressed in one moment and joyous the next moment. Everything could be going okay in our lives, until a phone call from a family member, or a text message from a friend. When we experience the changes in life or how I would like to call them, the seasons in life, we need to guard ourselves with prayer. Prayer is a conversation between you and God. Prayer is like the engine that starts the car in our relationship with God." The purpose of this book is to lead you to pray in the various seasons in your life. This book will encourage you to go further in your prayer life and help you to create your own inspiring prayers. I would encourage you to read the prayers out loud, and then read them silently, and then go further within your spirit to pray according to the season you are going through and create your own prayer.
