A few days later, my husband asked if I would be willing to teach a women's Bible study group at church. Once again God spoke, and once more I heard the Lord say, "Write" — and so I did. With my heart open and listening to the Lord and a pen in my hand, I asked Him what He would have me write. Each day as I waited before Him, the information, the format, and a chapter came together.

The book before you is the result. As I determined to be obedient to His voice, I began the process of writing and editing this study. After weeks and months of effort, I pray that God will use this study to work bountifully in your life. If you are also willing to listen for His voice, obey Him, and submit your will to His, you will find yourself growing stronger in your walk with the Lord and deepening your relationship with Him.
