Overview

Because You Prayed is a resource for all of those praying with desperate concern for prodigals. These thirty days of prayer and decrees have been selected from my journey and personal journal. The chosen themes represent the struggles I faced in believing for my family's restoration and how a solid scriptural foundation helped put that faith in action through prayer. I have set the stage for these days of prayer by telling our family's story. As the entries indicate, there were often more challenges than celebrations. However, our story becomes a testimony to add an element of authentic hope. The grand crescendo of the book is a thank you letter from my son. His lived experience, breakthroughs, and years of restored destiny will fan the flame of confident expectation for the readers. Because You Prayed will be a source of encouragement, enabling more individuals and families to also develop their own testimony.

This book is a must-read for every parent with a child who has struggled in life. It is laced with the Word of God and contains His promises laid out straight from the Bible. Every day there is a mother's prayer followed by a decree stated in language based on the promise of God that has been prayed. Because You Prayed is a power-packed book of prayers and promises that bring hope, strength, and healing for families in this troubled world. I have seen many men enter our faith-based program at Teen Challenge because of the power of a praying mother. While here, we have watched the grace of God bring salvation and transformation. A valued part of that process has certainly been that 'prayer power' of the hopeful mom. It has been such a joy to see them returned to their families to live the lives that God had intended. -Randy Makinson Spiritual Formation Coach Teen Challenge Men's Center, Lanigan, SK www.teenchallenge.ca It has been a privilege to walk with Judy Mizu as editor of her book Because You Prayed. I had a close-up view of what she wrote during her journey praying for her son. I found myself going down into the deep crevices of near-despair with this mother. Then, buoyed by the Word of the Lord, which she had grabbed as her lifeline, I would emerge with restored confidence and renewed expectation. To say that Judy's journey is authentic is an understatement! She does not mask nor minimize her own need for the Lord's fresh deposit of forgiveness, strength, or patience. More than once, I would note back to the author that there's someone waiting to read that line. Now someone holds this book in his or her hand. Even if yours is a white-knuckle grip, allow the substance and momentum to flow to you. This book is your invitation to dip into that same divine deposit that this family discovered as you read the journey of their heart-fought victory. -Peggy Kennedy Speaker and Author A is for Apple, Hear the Sound, Chosen www.TwoSilverTrumpets.ca I had known Judy and her family from before Justin was born. I reconnected with her during the time of Justin's dark struggle. I had the challenge and privilege of walking with them through the darkness as God brought Justin into His marvellous light. That journey was definitely a process. Day twenty of this resourceful book illustrates that. Recorded there is Judy's prayer, Stir to my child's remembrance the teachings from Your Word and the goodness they offer. May they have more attraction than the ways of the world that lead to destruction and death. I remember at one point Justin saying, I want to want Jesus like or more than I want these drugs. The link back to his mother's prayer is obvious. This book of prayers will turn your heart in faith to the God who is better and brighter than anything this world could offer. He is more powerful than the deepest darkest addiction. Thank you, Judy, for sharing your faith journey through these prayers and declarations of faith. -Dallas Block, Executive Director Rock Solid Refuge Inc. www.rocksolidrefuge.com
