Salt City Prayers is a collection of Sunday morning prayers offered between 1985 and 1995 at Erwin United Methodist Church in Syracuse, New York. The prayers include themes such as comfort, deliverance, faith, grace, growth, meaning, presence, and restoration.

Have you been experiencing hardship? Do you desire restoration in your life, marriage, business, and home? Do you need a change in situations and life? Have you been praying without answers? Do you desire a sweet and pleasant life experience? Then this book is for you. Prayer is powerful, but when you engage other things as you pray, it speeds up your answers. One of the items mostly used is salt. Salt can be found in every home, but not many understand its power in getting what we want in prayers. Salt is a potent tool that many have ignored due to ignorance. Salt is a valuable item not just in the home for food and other domestic purposes but very valuable in spiritual matters, particularly in prayers. Many Individuals and spiritual leaders recognize its potency in prayers. Salt was mentioned in various places in the scriptures, both in the old and new testament. It was used by prophet Elisha and cited by other prophets. Jesus used it to speak to His disciples, further showing its level of significance. Jesus used salt to make a metamorphic comparison with believers, which means we have the power the salt has; we have the level of influence, potency, nature it has and can do the same thing it does in men's lives and on earth. When our saltiness is missing, then we lose value, relevance, importance, and every great quality that a man must possess to live a meaningful life on earth. This is why the book of Matthew admonished believers to ensure we secure our rates as we preserve salt. If salt is wrongly exposed, it loses its relevance. Salt is used for various spiritual reasons, with several testimonies recorded from breakthrough to restoration, to spiritual protection, fortification, and all others. This is why it is often used in important events and rituals that involve declarations and prayers. This book contains powerful insights on salt's spiritual power, its rituals, and uses in prayers to get what you want in life, marriage, business, and other areas. Salt doesn't just bring answers to prayers when used because one is a Christian; as long as you have faith and follow spiritual instructions, you will get everything you desire. This spiritual book is a must-read for every seeker of knowledge. TO YOUR VICTORY!

Have you ever had a time when you needed to hear a word of encouragement from a loved one or a friend? Perhaps there have been times when just a few words from someone of trust would give you that extra push you needed to forge ahead in spite of your circumstances. Family and friends may sincerely love us, but there is no love like the love of God. People will not always be available, but the presence of God is never-ending. He will speak to your spirit at the most unexpected times. Many of these messages spoke comfort to my heart more than twenty-five years ago when I was enduring great struggles and trudging through challenging times. There are other messages that gave me divine direction during more current situations. During the seasons when I took on caring for elderly family members, God spoke strength to my weariness. When finances were challenged, God spoke peace to my soul. In times of fear and when doubts plagued my own God-given abilities, God spoke courage to my heart. When I felt lost, confused, disappointed, at an energy deficit, or just desperately needed to smile, God provided the words of assurance and hope that helped me to press onward. The power, grace, and love of God spoken in His words of hope are timeless! I am so grateful for His patience with me because I am finally heeding the call to share these messages with you. It is my prayer that you will also find hope, healing, and great grace in these words from God. Let Him speak to you! Pass a message on to someone longing to be blessed! Allow God to encourage you! Let Him put a smile on your face! Trust Him to guide you! I promise you, He will carry you through every situation! Listen...God has Messages of Hope!
