2) I’m giving away a copy of any of my books. Winner get to pick.

2015 is the year of change, Holy Spirit gave me the Word: FORWARD. physical healing, family relationships [deep healing there] – a husband (!) and financial, success in my writing career! thank you for your post Cara, thank you for being a vessel of God’s love.
My biggest hope for 2015 is that God will guide me to a place where I can do more with my talents then just hanging my art on my walls and piling my writings into files on my computer. My husband needs a break from his job, and I’d love to be a part of giving him that. 🙂
An ease of stresses and worries: for myself, to trust God completely and release my anxieties; for my husband, for his job to settle down and become a place a joy for him; for my parents and relatives, for the mental struggles of two young men in the family to be healed.
Two hopes for 2015…one, that my daughter and grandchildren remain healthy and happy all through the year (and beyond!) and two, that for once in a very long time that my business is profitable.
My greatest hope for 2015 is continued good health!
My greatest hope for 2015 is that my son will come to know Jesus. He accepted Him when he was a little boy but because of disappointments of life, has lost his belief in Him.
I hope 2015 is the year a publisher will offer me a contract. And for continued health, physically and financially, in my family.
My biggest wish is that God will choose to heal my husband’s cancer.
My greatest hope for 2015 is to learn to accept me for me,the woman God created me to be.To realize that God does love me no matter of all my mistakes.

Father, I ask you to soak that truth into Jackie’s soul. And that you would show her areas where you want her to grow this year. Be gentle yet intentional about her.
My greatest hope (prayer) for 2015 is to come to a full knowledge of the love of God the Father. I never had a father growing up, so the concept of a present loving Father is one that slips out of my emotional grasp. My head knows it, but my heart slow to follow.
Author
Father, reveal your Father heart to Dana. Soak the truth deep into her heart and spirit that she would truly know and understand you as her Father. That she would take comfort and rest in that reality of her relationship with you!
Thank you, Cara. That you would pray for me means the world.
I hope for a calm, peaceful year.

My greatest hope for the next year is to see my adult son surrender his life to Jesus.

To see my son married and happy in July. We’re excited about the wedding!
Author
That is awesome! Father, A special blessing on this young couple. Lead them in your truth and bless their relationship. May they always seek you first.
I really want to finish getting out of debt this year. We kind of stalled last year due to a wedding in the family and some home improvements we took care of so it will be good to get back on track.
Author
Father, I ask that you would multiply the resources that Pam has. That you would lead her to ways to stretch her dollars and help her get out of debt. May her first 10% always go to you, and may you multiply the rest as only you can do.
My greatest hope for 2015 is to try and live a happier life. At times I feel bogged down by family responsibilities and trying to juggle 2 jobs and I let that affect the way I treat others. I am going to make 2015 a year of happiness 🙂

Father, open the right doors for Lucy’s husband. Lead him to the right job that will fit his talents and passion.
My biggest hope is that someone will help my husband with his pain. He has had so many surgeries and now the doctors don’t even want to help him anymore. He is in pain everyday and they do nothing. Our life has become somewhat hopeless right now. I feel like giving up. I try so hard to not give up. I pray but then feel defeated when nothing changes. We have used all our money and sometimes I don’t know how we will get through the day. I would love to read your book. Thanks
Author
Father, I ask you to flood Ellen and her husband with your presence, your peace, and your healing.
Do more devotions! Be more disciplined definitely!

Wonderful give-away. Thanks for offering it.

At the moment my greatest hope for 2015 is that I will know the will of God for me in this new stage of my life. I retired from my full time job after 30 years of working as an RN at a VA hospital. Not sure what is up now so will just wait on the Lord to see where He leads. I’m sure hoping reading is still on His list of things for me to do!
