I’ve Written My First Book!!!

Covered in Prayer: 31 Prayers to Cover You and Your Children in God’s Grace

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve written my first book! Covered In Prayer: 31 Prayers to Cover You and Your Children in God’s Grace is a collection of prayers for you to pray over you and your children.

I’ve heard the analogy that holding your child for the first time is like holding your own heart outside of your body. That’s the way I felt the first time I held my oldest son, David, in my arms.  He was so fragile, so beautiful, so completely dependent upon me for all of his needs.  Never had I felt such responsibility.  My son was totally dependent upon me to provide for all of his needs: natural, emotional and spiritual.   I soon became painfully aware of my inability to do so without Divine help. 

Yes, I could meet his physical needs.  I made sure he was well fed and had a clean diaper.  I could meet his emotional needs.  I held him tight, kissed him, and rocked him to sleep. But I had no idea how to meet his spiritual needs.  I was clueless how to introduce him to the God who loved him and created him for a purpose.  

But I found that through prayer I had access to all the grace I needed to bring my children before the God who loves them. When I bring my children to God in prayer, He meets their spiritual needs, just like He meets mine. Becoming a mom has taken my prayer life to a whole new level.

I wrote this book because I believe that a mother’s prayers carry a special weight in Heaven.  

I also wrote this book because there were times (and still are) when it was difficult for me to find words to pray.   I hope this book will give you words to pray when you can’t find words of your own. I hope this book will inspire you to pray more often and with restored confidence as you place your children into the hands of the God who hears and cares.

God Bless!
