    About this ebook

    If you could point to one thing in your life and say, "Lord, heal this." What would it be? Where does God's mercy most need to abide in your life? We all hold ourselves back from truly letting God love us, but what if today you let Him in? What would you lay down at the foot of the cross?

      The prayers titled Glorify and Unfinished were inspired by Life Teen International themes of the same name and were written and dedicated to serve the teens of Life Teen at St. Patrick Catholic Community in Scottsdale, AZ, no copyright infringement is intended.

      All for Him.

      "Christ in me arise and dispel all the darkness.

      Christ in me arise with your power and your strength.

      Christ in me pour out your blessing and healing.

      Christ in me arise and I shall rise with you."

      -Trevor Thomson

      The sinner that’s inside of me, has lost all his control of me.

      -Matt Maher

      My heartfelt gratitude goes out to all of my dear family and friends

      who have never stopped encouraging me from listening to God’s call in my heart.

      Every prayer, every shared moment of tears and laughter has ministered to me

      and helped me create this humble offering. To Kate Olmscheid, my invaluable

      Copy-Editor-in-Chief and also Gabe Rauch, for his creative insights and beautiful cover design, I am indebted to you both. Above all, I especially want to thank my husband, David for his patience and understanding of the late nights and wild ideas and for loving me through it all. Life is ministry and I would not choose to minister in this life with anyone else but you. I also want to thank the St. Patrick Catholic Community of Scottsdale, Arizona, where true

      conversion is possible and discipleship is alive and well.

      This collection of prayers was once called Embracing His Grace. It began as a personal process to challenge myself through my faith to write more and deny my gifts less. In writing for myself I often would have amazing creative inspirations and produce great work only to become bogged down in negative inner dialogue telling me my work was self-centered and not up to par. Writing is a solitary endeavor, and I
