Introduction and Instruction How to Use this Devotional WY
This book was written with a two-fold purpose: to provide daily living contact with God and to allow the reader the opportunity to participate in the life of another individual that she may never meet through intercession. Prayer is so easy. It merely consists of making contact with our Heavenly Father to worship and praise Him though His Word. As we worship Him in spirit and in truth, then the storehouse of Heaven is opened up to us. We have a release of peace, love and faith that is indescribable. While at His throne, we are invited to ask what

we will, and He will do it for us. While there, we often forget that there is someone else, somewhere who has a similar need. This book addresses that need, and provides a reminder and a focus that allows us to intercede for that other sister, whomever she may be, wherever she may be. She may be an affluent European or a working woman in South America. She may live in Sri Lanka, Cambodia, or Liberia. God knows who she is and what she needs, and He wants you to pray for her. I hope this book is an answer to prayer for you and that you may take joy in the knowledge that you have not forgotten to pray for someone else. May you enjoy your seven weeks of wisdom and intercession with Jesus.
