Walking Closer with God is about relationship and here we are talking about relationship with the Living One and Only True God; God of infinite wisdom, majesty, splendor, power and honor Who alone is able to orchestrate events in our lives and is Sovereign. This book focuses on the most important thing in life and that is communing with God who has formed us, shaped us, and wired us individually; and the One who has seen us in our mother’s womb even before the bones were formed! All thoughts which are formed in our minds can be brought in captive to God’s authority by petitioning to the Lord. This means anything which distresses our peace and God’s grace is abundant even when we think it is not there. A right disposition of our mind is so important in all of our circumstances because in this world we will encounter varied situations and it is important we have the right and true perspective and not the perceived perspective. It is important that we know that He cares and when we express our heart’s desires we are at peace with Him because as His children we need to know that He cares and understands and sympathizes with us in all situations. We as adopted children of the Most High God of the Universe, we begin to understand the depth of His love for humanity when we come to Calvary. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”; Jn 3:16. In our total depravity, when we begin to understand this unconditional love, we begin to trust that He can and is able help us in all of our trials. When we express our desires to God we are not talking about experiential/emotional/ mystical/ fanatical approach but rather our hearts are drawn closer to the truth so that we as children of God we are spared from the deception of end days which is today. We pray that we have deep discernment and understanding when we are grounded in God’s Word. Praying God’s Word is one of the most pragmatic way of staying in God’s truth and against from the perceived truth which is the lie of the enemy. I believe prayer, supplications, songs and staying in God’s Word is the Sovereign antidote against perplexing fear and anxiety. She is very spiritually mature, knows and loves the Word of God and seeks God in prayer consistently. She is very dependable and is a woman of her word. I have seen her use wise discernment in a committee setting and bring people’s ideas together in very gracious, organized, and practical way. Jan Annan Sr. Pastor's Wife, Harvest Hills Alliance Church, Calgary She's a woman of prayer. She is also a woman of faith. Only faithful prayers distinguish committed Christians from the carnal ones. Elizabeth takes joy to be alone with the Lord in prayer as her disciple lifestyle."
