I can't thank Kathy for how honest she was about crying out that is how I feel many times. I'm blessed with a beautiful grandson who is very autistic. I tell the Lord I don't understand because we have to have lots of money in order to really help him. I try to help in every way I can but it is very difficult when he and family have so many needs.I also want to say Kathy I'm sorry for your great loss but the Lord is your comfort.

Prayers up for Kathy and Fam. Rest well Tim

[@Mrsjorasi]

My husband was a man of prayer. When we prayed together it was so much easier than it is now that he is gone to Heaven. I'm surprised that they didn't mention praying together as one of the keys to praying. We had a 25 minute slot in the morning when we prayed and actually I would do most of the praying, because he prayed much every day. I was the one who needed the time of praying together to help me have a better prayer life. Now I pray with friends on the phone, or I even text prayers to friends and family as I cover them in prayer. I have a friend who always asks at the end of a phone conversation, "How can I pray for you?" I tell her and then we pray. I also try to pray for people that I converse with by phone or in person. These are all helps for me.

[@Doug326]

They have talked about how they prayed together and how their prayer life deepened after illness struck each of them at different times.

Thank you Lord for Kathy and Tim.

[@artventures24]

Kathy was such an honest woman.

[@cleofewhite5551]

This is such a good authentic interview for both Kathy and Tim. I feel good that I am not alone in my prayer life. We will miss Tim. He is such a godly human being and he finished well! Praying for Kathy and family for comfort and peace in the passing of Tim. They sure will miss Tim too.

His wife embarrasses him.

[@cleofewhite5551]

@@deborahconnolly8949 She is human same as you. If intideed she did, i dont think it was intentional. Tim is human as well. Please dont be a glass half empty!

Napping and I wake up to this ❤ how lovey

[@bealivingmiracle]

Beautiful quote from Tim on prayer: "I really want to have to pull myself away from prayer." May our time in prayer be so enthralling and rapturous, that we would rather remain in God's presence than engage in any other activity.

Amen~

So glad you speak from real life with the heart of Jesus and not from ' great life experiences ' which are only for some happy few who ' made it'. God bless you richly! Love you and your ministry!

[@teresahiatt1061]

Love this wise response on the holy three-in-one.

[@lyseclement6628]

Excellent questions! I love to hear the different answers by Kathy and Tim. This really opened my views on my communication with God. Thank you kindly and may God keep you and bless you.

Thanks for the video, hello from Ecuador ☺

Great stuff early on about 1) frusrtration and anger with God/arguing with God 2) Praying the Psalms and how to do it in the first five minutes. He covers a fuller understanding of prayer later. Such a great family, such a sad loss.

I have been reading your book,Songs of Jesus~ my sister & Cuz- are in nursing home & I read to them daily out of this book. Separately. I am blessed & they seem to enjoy. Thank you both!

[@maggielantry9811]

JOHN Bailey's A Diary of Private Prayer has been a great help to me ,

[@maggielantry9811]

To pray for children of the world - i am so reminded and guided by Guide My Feet by Marian Wright Edelman

[@pippa212]

I’ve been doing this with God, telling him he promises something and I’m holding him to his word. It’s very cathartic

[@AdvEug]

His promises remind me and I repeat them in prayer as my strength in difficult times.

[@redpancakes6144]

You think God owes you something? I don’t think you want what God owes you.

[@mrorr1mrorr1]
