When Priscilla Shire spoke at the True Woman Conference in 2012, she was impressed by how much time was spent at the conference in prayer.

Very rarely do you find a conference setting where there are so many women gathered.

Maybe at a smaller setting, maybe if there are 50 or 100 women, you see this more frequently.

But when you get into the thousands, you very rarely see so much

time set aside where together we are literally grabbing hands and we're saying, Lord, come and revive

our marriages, revive our children, revive our own hearts. Very rarely do you see time actually

scheduled for that. You know, there might be like a prayer chapel somewhere and you can go pray if you

want to and there's, that's a valid thing. But very rarely do you say, you know what, all 8,000 of us, we're getting ready to pray and we're going to do it all together. And you're not going to leave and go to the bathroom or go get some coffee. You're going to pray too because this is even equally as important as worship time, equally as important as listening to that speaker that you came to hear is us seeking the face of God.

even in our own events and conferences where the Lord may put us just to impress upon people

the importance of getting on our knees together and seeking the face of God.

Nancy DeMoss-Walgamuth was in that situation. Today, we'll hear how God provided just what she needed.

Here are a couple of other reasons to listen. You'll hear several impassioned prayers for women in various seasons of life.

You can pray along and be encouraged when you hear prayers that pertain to you.

You'll also be reminded of the value of prayer.

You'll be inspired to pray with those around you who need encouragement.

And finally, you'll get a taste for the kind of timely, earnest prayer we are expecting

at the upcoming conference, Cry Out, True Woman, 2016. It's coming to Indianapolis, September 22nd

through the 24th. And as the needs of our nation mount, as the darkness seems to be growing, we want to offer hope,
