Word To The Reader Holy Greetings Friend, Prayer is how we communicate with God, and devotions enable us to meditate on His Word. PRAYERS & DEVOTIONS that Change Lives and Hearts will expand your prayer life, as well as empower you to receive more clarity while meditating on the Word of God. As a Sunday School teacher for nearly 15 years, I have found that regardless of how long you have been walking with the Lord, or if you are new to the family of God, you will be strengthened, renewed, and able to find peace for your heart when you take your concerns to God in prayer. This book will draw you closer to God while creating a more extraordinary prayer life and longing for Him. As you pray each prayer and read the devotions, there will be a desire to be still in His presence. God will speak to your heart as the prayers penetrate the atmosphere and the devotions speak life to your spirit. The readings will shut down the outside noise and distractions. And there, in His presence, you will find peace and rest for your soul. I pray the Lord bless and keep you as you take this prayer journey and that you will see your life and the lives of those you pray for changed at Godspeed. And remember Philippians 4:6-7 says, "Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Now Beloved, silence the chatter and begin your prayer journey of peace as you go from faith to faith and glory to glory in Him. In His Love, Brenda R Cox
