Difficulties
will come in life. You will have pain and heartache. You may ask,
“Where is God?” Shepherd helps you keep in communication with God
during those hard times.
She
knows what she is writing about. She shares her own story – an
automobile accident where her baby, still in the car seat, was hurled
onto the freeway. Her daughter was in a year long coma and has severe
disabilities.
Shepherd
writes about abiding in God, keys to surviving difficult times,
actively trusting God with your troubles, standing against the enemy,
praying against the spirit of strife, wanting and praying for a
breakthrough, praying with trust, praying for grace and mercy,
praying for others and for peace, and exercises in hearing God's
voice.
This
is a very encouraging book. It deals with much more than just praying
during a difficult time. Shepherd writes from experience, sharing her
own struggles with trusting God. What she has learned in her
Christian walk is helpful and full of hope. Potential readers should
know that Shepherd has had visions and has seen the reality of demon
activity.
She
ends each chapter with a written prayer and discussion questions are
provided at the back of the book. There are also videos that go along
with the book at www.IgniteMyFaith.com. This book would be a good choice for a study group.
Food
for thought: “Many of our trials serve as invitations to cling to
God.” (21)
