Summary

Many people, including some Christians, live life at such a frenetic pace that time alone with God seems to be reduced to a bare minimum, if it is not squeezed out altogether. We may forget God, but he does not abandon us. He is always ready to hear our prayers - in joy or in pain, in the good times and in desperate situations. Here Jenny Child offers a collection of simple, reflective, and inspiring prayers.
