The worst had happened. I laid awake all night thinking, crying and praying. God, I never wanted this, and I certainly don’t want it for my kids. I wasn’t happy either, but I did not want to break up my family. I wanted to work on my marriage, but my husband had decided he wanted…

Read MorePrayerdemic Prayers – Holiness is Not Cancelled
Please join me in praying this scriptural prayer for America. Let’s agree together in prayer for repentance, revival and restoration. We quote 2 Chronicles 7:14 often.
