Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for speaking to me to write this book. I pray that you use me as your vessel to bless each reader. I understand that this book may not be for everyone, but I know that you will arrange different situations for the right person to get the word that they have been asking you for. I pray that you bless the reader tremendously. Please bless the reader out of their wildest dreams. I pray that the reader will surrender their will to you and allow you to take control over their life. I dedicate this book to you, Father. I pray that it brings you the honor and glory you deserve. I thank you for everything you have done for me thus far and I can’t wait to see where you and I will go from this day forward. Father, I’m holding on to your hand by faith. The road gets scary and looks scary at times to me because I don’t see how you are going to move the pieces of my life, but you told me that’s not my job to know the how. It’s my job to know that you have a plan for my life and that everything will be ok. Thank you for giving me a second chance. You hear my prayers. You always do. I love you, Father.

In Jesus name,

Amen
