I’m Praying, and I Won’t Get Up: Establishing and Solidifying Your Relationship with God Through Prayer

About the Book

I’m Praying, and I Won’t Get Up: Establishing and Solidifying Your Relationship with God Through Prayer has three main emphases: praying in every situation, interpreting God’s answers to our prayers, and strengthening our relationship with God through prayer. As we go through life’s trials and tribulations, it’s imperative to pray. The more we pray, the more God will answer. The more God answers, the stronger our relationship with God becomes. God will show God’s faithfulness to us in our victories and in our mistakes, thus, strengthening our relationship, even to a point at which we can demand answers from God. This book illustrates the intimacy and power of a strong relationship with God and the depth of God’s gracious love, as God literally answers prayer. It will exemplify how to grow your relationship with God and will inspire your spirit.
