Evelyn Ann Johnson

"I love the Lord my God with all my passion and prayer. I love others as well as I love myself. This is the bond of perfection. I wrestle in prayer for others, for this is the will of God. I abide in the word of God. I am plugged into the power of prayer, for nothing can shake me, move me or break me. Nothing can separate me from the Love of God which is Christ Jesus. In his presence I dwell! Amen"
