Joyce MeyerRead
Our prayers are heard by God not according to what we try to be when we pray, but who we are when we are not praying
Interpretation

Early on in my life, I had a broken soul. I was abused by my father, abandoned by my mother and ended up in a destructive first marriage. By the time I was 23, I was broken in my soul. I didn't know how to think right. I felt wrong about everything. But God stepped into my life, and I came out on the other side and didn't even smell like smoke.
