The prayers of this volume are a reaching out from the heart of the author to the heart of God in behalf of a loved one. The prayers were penned in the certainty God hears and answers prayer; He reaches down from Heaven to touch, heal and guide the prayer's recipient. No other response but such love can come from a God who is love. An inclusion of cancer patient prayers honors the Discovery Weekend friends who shared their hearts and their illnesses with the author. The cover icon of Gabriel, the messenger of the Incarnation(Luke 1:26), is a reminder of God's tenderness towards our human struggles that He would send His Son to become one of us. It is also a reminder of the strengthening appearance to Daniel (Daniel 10:12), because his words of prayer had been heard by God. The collection of prayers is presented in the hope the reader would be blessed and encourage to pray
