I wrote this book, Manifestation Devotional: Applying God's Word as a Prayer Tool, during a difficult time in my life. For the most part, I can say that I pray regularly to God. But in this particular season in my life, I was disoriented, in pain, lonely, and angry at everyone for the death of my mother, who died less than two years after my father passed away. On top of all my dilemmas, I became sick and was diagnosed with depression that was so severe that I lost my job. When I was not working, l was extremely worried and afraid of how my family's bills would be paid. However, before my illness, I was a member of my church's women's prayer group; I continue going to the women's prayer meetings and praying with other Christian believers to this day. I learned so much from those wonderful women of God. Every Tuesday, we would come to a prayer meeting and share and pray about the problems and needs of other members of the church.
