When Prayer Takes Flight
The lady behind the airline counter looked as if she couldn’t have cared less. I was at the airline’s special help desk, holding my airline confirmation email for a flight now leaving in forty minutes.

by Linda Evans Shepherd in Leading Hearts Magazine
Considering that the world is in the panic of a pandemic, I’m want to share a prayer initially intended for a book called Praying Through Your Every Emotion, soon to release from Baker Revell. This book will be a dictionary of emotions complete with a mini-Bible study and accompanied by a paraphrased prayer to correspond with each of the 64 emotions I cover inside the book.

Praying to Move Mountains
I AM LIKE A PRAYER INVESTIGATOR. I HAD TO BE BECAUSE I HAD A MOUNTAIN TO MOVE.
After a violent car crash put my 18-month-old baby into a coma, I needed to know what it would take to touch my daughter through the power of prayer.
Since that fateful day, I’ve made it my mission to understand prayer. I’ve spent hours scouring the Word to discover and understand the prayer secrets it contains, and most importantly, I’ve prayed. I’ve battled. I’ve contended. I’ve sought God. I’ve claimed promises, and I’ve prayed through roadblocks.
I’ve experienced breakthroughs and felt the heartache when God says no. I’ve worked with prayer teams and prayer partners, fought the enemy and prayed with countless people. And yes! I have seen God move. I have seen God answer prayer.
In my new book, When You Need to Move a Mountain, I share what I’ve learned to help readers not only become a person of prayer, but a person who can use prayer to reverse the works of the enemy, to save lives, to be blessed with provision and to flow into God’s best for their lives.

by Linda Evans Shepherd @LindaShepherd in Leading Hearts magazine
“STOP! YOU CAN’T PRAY THAT!” A YOUNG WOMAN ORDERED.
She had just expressed her extreme fear of snakes as we walked through a wooded area.
I had responded by bowing my head and praying, “Dear Lord, please protect us from snakes. May they not harm us, bite us or be seen by us. I pray this in the name of Jesus.”
After being shushed by Ellie’s command, I turned to her. “Stop my prayer? Why?”
“God is too busy for such an unimportant thing.”
