“I discovered something life-changing about prayer during that memorable period in 1999 when I felt abandoned by God, and I wondered if he even heard my urgent cries. That was the year I prayed the hardest and God remained the quietest. That was the year that changed the way I prayed. Forever. “Sometimes life can deeply hurt us. Learning to Pray When Your Heart Is Breaking tackles those hard questions of faith we may ask when pain turns our lives upside down. Questions like, Father, do you hear me when I pray? Do you have the power to answer my prayers? Do you love me enough to answer my prayers? Am I praying hard enough? How should I pray when my need is urgent? When should I give up and stop praying? Father, will you change your mind and work a miracle? And, What can I learn from pain and prayer?” ~ Denise George
