In my thirty-three years as a prayer counselor, through inner healing I have seen many miracles and countless lives transformed. But one thing has always been in short supply—materials that infuse healing principles into our daily walk with God. Walk With Me is a tool that can help fill that nitch.
Yomi’s poems will peak your interest, soften your heart, and prepare you to explore practical ways to walk out your healing. Then—from getting feelings off your chest, to forgiving, to establishing routines that bring structure to the chaos of life—Yinka will draw together your scattered thoughts and call you back to the simple perspective that only a loving God can provide. Once she has seated you firmly in His lap, she will give you prayers to help articulate the simple but elusive cries of your heart.
Draw close to the Lord, she says. Quiet your mind. Let Him focus your jumbled thoughts. Pour your heart out to Him in prayer. Let Him heal you. Yes, it’s that simple; He wants to be there for you. If you will only stop to listen, you will hear Him calling out . . .
… Walk With Me.

I see people in pain
I see people writhing in pain
Why do we hurt so bad?
Why do we cause much pain?
I see people in pain! Hearts bleeding! Hearts crinkled! with wrinkles!

Hearts rumpled,
