About this ebook
THE PRAYER OF THE INSPIRED
Father God, thank you for your divine inspiration. With your Word, I am encouraged to continue on and fight the good fight.
I am a conqueror because you showed me how to overcome.
I am a defeater because you showed me how to defeat all my enemies.
I am a lover because you showed me how love wiped away a multitude of sin.
Through it all, I remain humble because I know where my help comes from. Thank you Lord for your undeserved kindness.
From a small flower with a little bit of hope to an eager worm who desperately wants to experience the glorious transformation from God before his time, God Wired Jesus Inspired offers day-to-day encouragement to all in a new light.

Preface
I consider God Wired Jesus Inspired an assignment from God. This was the encouragement needed to heal from past pains and stay focused on Him. When I started writing, I had no idea the mission was to complete a book. Writing was the prescription given and filled by God to heal from the inside out.
After I truly gave my life to Christ, at age thirty-three, the spirit of God urged me to start writing. I had no specific idea in mind, but He did. In the beginning, the writings seemed somewhat childlike. They were simple, yet meaningful. God took me back to a childlike state to rewrite and edit my troubled past.
God scribbled me out as a victim, and wrote me in as someone who overcame. He dimmed my past, and highlighted my future in Him. He turned a rough draft into a well edited script. He allowed me to write it all down and call it God Wired Jesus Inspired. The makings of this divine inspiration delivered me, healed me, and encouraged me. I pray it does the same for you.
Foreword
Everyone needs encouragement from time to time. Encouragement is needed to begin something new. Encouragement is needed to push ahead. Encouragement is needed to endure until the end. If you are looking for inspiration, you have come to the right place. In this book, Amy delivers inspirational poems, revelations, and short stories in a supernatural way. Her simplistic view makes it easy to receive as she draws you into deeper thinking. Her thoughts will inspire and encourage you to keep the faith.
Amy has blessed and encouraged me with this book. I have watched her grow spiritually, and defeat the things that once held her hostage, such as fear. There is one significant event that comes to mind about Amy and fear. Fear housed Amy, and kept her tightly locked in. As she grew spiritually, God made her address fear over and over again.
Amy and I took swimming lessons together, and she was terrified of any water that surpassed her waist. Nevertheless, my no fear attitude encouraged her to push aside her water fears. One day we had to jump into the deep end of the pool, which was only five feet, using a floater. That was a scary task for Amy, but after several unsuccessful attempts to jump, she jumped in.
The very next day, Amy came to me and said, "Today I’m going to drown my fears and leave them at the bottom
