A Treasure to Pray

By Ruth Ocloo

This book is inspired by the book of Psalms written by King David in the Bible. I asked God one day why A Treasure to Pray, and he said verily unto me, These words I give you are not mere words, for they are words with value, words of truth, words of light piercing through the shadows of your within each time you speak them unto me, making your rest complete in me as you become whole again. So I share this beauty and grace with you, and I hope every word adds a spark to your life according to his perfect will. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. To God be the glory!

I didn’t really realize she was helping me. I remember when I was so unwise, always trying to please others. I was addicted to getting the approval of others, very afraid to confront them especially in my friendships.
