In working with people across the country and around the world, I've come to know that most of us go through times that re-route our prayer life.

I never set out to write prayers at all. But there was a span of time when I didn't find it easy to pray, but, when I went to write one of the things I had to write, a prayer would come.

Scripture has always been a part of my life. My dad was a pastor. My mother was a speaker, writer, and teacher. I memorized Scripture from the time I was little.

Happiness is realizing that nothing is too important.
