A Journey to Freedom Through Prayer

By N. B. Grant

God has a future planned for each one of us. However, we must seek him to lead and guide us toward the life he has planned for us. He wants our lives to be full of love, hope, faith, peace, joy, abundance and prosperity. Yet in order for us to have the life he wants for us we must let go of the things that have us bound.

We were not meant to live in fear, depression, anger and unforgiveness, or to live with feelings of rejection and bitterness with no hope for the future. Therefore, we must develop a personal relationship with him in prayer, learn to abide in him and seek him for direction. Release the guilt and condemnation of the past and move forward in faith in order to inherit his promises.

This book of prayers will help you to begin to seek God about releasing your past and prepare you to step into the future God has planned for your life.

N. B. Grant

N.B. Grant has had a love for God since she was about 7 years old. As she became older she sought to have a more intimate relationship with God and was led to seek him in prayer about releasing the pain and issues of her past. This is what led to her journey. Having suffered traumatic events like the loss of her father by a drunk driver as a child and having experienced years of emotional abuse and depression she sought to be free through prayer and fasting. It has been over 15 years since she began her journey. God has spoken many prayers into her spirit that have helped her to find her way to freedom from the past and continue to help her find freedom from issues that developed from her past. This journey of prayer and fasting has allowed her to move forward and help others to do the same through the prayers she has written. Though this is Grant’s first book, she continues to write as she moves forward on her journey and into the future God has planned for her life. She is a wife and mother of two children; she is a native of Texas.

Preface

This book includes my prayers, the prayers I have written that were spoken into my spirit for myself as well as others. Some of them were written while fasting and praying to examine the issues that developed from my past. This did not begin as a journey, but unexpectedly became one of self-reflection that has been both emotional and painful, but rewarding and freeing. It has been and still is work that is well worth exploring to have the abundant life that God has planned.

This has been one of the most important experiences I have had because it has allowed me to release some of the traumatic events in my life. It also has given me the confidence that, even though I have a long way to go, there is hope for the future. My hope is that these prayers can help you to begin to examine and submit your issues in prayer, that you may find some resolutions, and that you become free as well.

This book was written with the intention that you would use these prayers to help you release the issues of your past, allow God
