Do you struggle with prayer? Do you worry that you’re doing it wrong? Prayer should be the most natural thing in the world, but it’s not. We make it far more complicated than it needs to be, primarily because we don’t understand the character of God and how He works.
In Women of Prayer you get to know God in a more personal manner as you delve into the lives of Bible women who walked and talked with Him. Through their interactions with God, you’ll discover who He is and what it is He wants for you.
Drawing from the stories of ten Bible women, author Sharon Wilharm shows you how to get past a superficial acquaintance with God and develop a deeper relationship with him.
As you study the stories of women of prayer, you’ll discover insight into God’s character, His thoughts, His timing, His methods, and His heart. You’ll get to know God in the most intimate of ways. You won’t have to think about praying. It will come naturally. Whatever you do, you’ll want to talk it over with him. When no one else is there for you‘ll know you can go running into his outstretched arms, and he will comfort you in a way no one else can. You’ll go from being casual contacts to being the best of friends.
—Develop a better understanding of the character of God.
—Learn how to study the Bible on your own.
—Memorize key Scripture passages to guide you in your prayer life.
—Improve your prayer life as you grow in your spiritual walk with the Lord

Speaker, Mentor, Author and Pastor's Wife
Jackie Hayden says
"I went through a season of hurt, anger, and bitterness that caused me to withdraw and build a wall of false security. I learned that the enemy really does come to steal, kill, and destroy; he lied to me to keep me from following God’s plan for my life. But God has shown me that the true key to forgiveness is to surrender all to Him, and upon surrendering, there is also freedom.
I am passionate about using my story to remind others that only God can transform and set our focus back on Jesus Christ. The lessons I learned made me better for His purpose.
God has impressed on my heart a message of hope -- that there IS freedom from the lies and hurts that hold us back from serving God with an unhindered heart. His restoration in my life has made me a better wife, mom, Meme, and women’s leader. Please allow me to share with your ladies this message of hope."

Every parent’s worst nightmare. The Government kidnapped my children!
As a business owner and mother, I never had any time. Then the unthinkable happened.
Something would shift my world forever. Something out of a 20/20 Primetime special.
This story is not one-dimensional but very overwhelming to share. But I will try my hardest.
I had to rebuild my life and reclaim my children with God’s help. Some say it’s a miracle, and I would agree.
I pray that this project will be a place for education, inspiration, and hope to all who may be going through a life storm.

Each box is tailored specifically around a trial or traumatic event to guide your loved ones through clinically proven steps Jason uses in his therapy sessions. In 2018, my life was flipped upside down after my wife (Valerie) was diagnosed with stage 4 Colon Cancer. I was terrified for myself and my small family of four. This was devastating news that completely rocked our world. The Doctor in the hospital looked at me and said “Jason, Cancer has a way of enhancing your life”. At this point in my life, I did not want this. I wanted the life I had before to go back to normal. You see, prior to this diagnosis life was good for us, and we were living an enjoyable and happy life. During this time, I was clinical director of a recovery treatment program, building a beautiful home, my boys were thriving in sports and School. Valerie had just lost 100 lbs. and was beginning to get the light back on in her life. It was a life we could be proud of because we worked so very hard to achieve it. After Valerie’s Initial diagnosis, we were given 2-3 hours for Valerie’s life expectancy. Fast Forward 9 months later, and we found ourselves saying goodbye at her funeral. No one or thing can fully prepare you for life’s challenges, trials, and pain. After the funeral was complete and over, I remember my support from my family and friends quickly disappeared. I quickly found myself all alone trying to pick up the pieces of life. It was a hard and lonely time for me. “What happened to all the people that we're here for me”. “Does anyone care anymore”? “Where is my Team”? “How will I get through this?” I remember saying to myself “Will I Become Happier again”. Will I find love again”. “Will I feel Joy again”. Life began to get more and more difficult as life continued after the passing of my wife. I found myself more and more depressed, isolating, lonely, anxious, and even struggling to sleep. Life quickly became overwhelming, and I was fearful of the future because I felt like I was going to do this all alone and this was a terrifying thought. As a clinical therapist, no one taught me about these moments that I was currently experiencing. No one prepared me on how to deal with or cope with my emotions and what I was currently dealing with. I knew I could help others going through challenging times in their life, but I couldn't help myself at this time.

A 30-Week Devotional Designed To Help You In Your Healing Journey Join me as I speak to Dr. Angel M. Cartagena about his new book.
This book is a devotional designed to be used over a 30-week period to help you process the grief, the pain, and the issues relating to divorce.
It is a Bible-based resource that will help you answer such questions as " Why does it hurt so much?" " How do I fix it?" "Can I remarry?" "How do I prevent this from happening again?"
The book contains questions at the end of each chapter that you can use to journal, discuss with a close friend, or can be used to lead a Bible study. Each chapter also contains a list of resources should you decide you need, or desire, to go deeper on a particular issue.
You can purchase his book on Amazon and you can contact him at www.angel-cartagena.com
