We serve a God who turns our valleys of desperation and battle into valleys of praise.
We rarely talk about the journey of prayer…what happens in between the desperate moments and God’s breakthrough.
Are there things we can learn from other’s journeys to help us through ours?
Are there things we are missing that may be preventing us from getting to breakthrough?
