W hat a challenging year! How would I ever have gotten through it without my loving husband and children? Thank you, dear family.
Also, a special thanks to my editor, Vicki Crumpton, and my agent, Janet Kobobel Grant, as well as all my wonderful friends at Baker Publishing Group. Thank you for all you do to get the messages of my heart into the hands of readers.
And thanks be to God. If it werent for his voice of encouragement, you would not be holding this book in your hands.
Come Boldly to God
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:16 NKJV
T oday, I have a vibrant relationship with God, but this was not always the case. Though Id had a special love for the Lord since childhood, I felt lonely. I knew I could talk to him in my heart, but as far as I could tell, God either couldnt or wouldnt talk back. Id decided God was silent, and his silence felt deafening.
Of course, I knew God used the Bible to guide my life, but I couldnt shake the feeling that there had to be more. I longed for something beyond my one-sided relationship with him, to see him, to hear him, face-to-face. But I figured that wouldnt happen until I graduated to heaven, and I wasnt ready for that . I felt stuck because my timid, little prayers didnt seem to connect me to God on a deeper level. I wasnt even sure how to pray correctly, effectively, or in a way that helped me feel the warmth of Gods presence. It seemed to me that my prayers were going only as high as the ceiling. Thats why I set out on a quest to try to figure out how to crack the prayer code.
Then the day came when I found myself listening to a speaker who explained that I needed to create an elaborate list of requests to bring daily before the Lord. The speaker even showed a clever notebook shed developed that would help me organize my list. The exciting part, she explained, is getting to put a check mark next to the requests as God answers.
I was intrigued, so I dutifully bought the notebook, made my list, and carefully read it to the Lord for an entire month. But I felt like I was merely reciting a shopping list to God. I couldnt help but shake my head and grin, for if my husband communicated with me only through a list of everything he wanted me to do, I would certainly get annoyed.
Not wanting to annoy God, I abandoned my list until a couple years later when I happened to find the notebook in the bottom of a drawer. When I opened it and read through my original requests, I was amazed that I was able to pull out my pen and put a check mark next to every petition Id jotted down two years earlier. Despite the fact Id been worried that my prayer list bored God, I realized God had not only heard my prayers but also graciously responded with many miraculous results, even long after Id forgotten to pray. This exercise proved to me that I could boldly come to his throne of grace, even when I came with a long list of prayer requests.
