Prayer isn't babbling just to see your own breath in the cold air. Many people have no idea what prayer truly is but they sure do it a lot.

Even the bible states that people pray 'amiss'. It means they don't know how or for what to pray.

True prayer brings results. You may not see them as results but it brings results.

I've decided to bring this personal story here................

It has been 30 years since the day I returned to my first love. After having run amuck for several years, the Lord literally pulled the rug out from under me. There was no place to go but up.

For the next 3 years,with Jesus as my tutor, I was taken through a series of healings. Each healing brought a new understanding.
