When challenging seasons of separation, divorce, and family crises invade your life, prayer is your key to destiny. Dear Lord is a collection of powerful prayers that securely navigated author and life skills coach Kenya Spence through a season of unexpected life experiences. As a woman of faith and lover of family, during the most challenging days of her life, Kenya surrendered her despair to the hopes of Psalms 27 when verse 13 emerged as the mantra of her writings and daily meditations. "I would have lost heart unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living." Psalms 27:13 Kenya's heartfelt and genuine approach in her writing will help you see that your relationship with God can grow and your communication with Him can get better. Even in the most difficult times of your life. This book of letters in prayers to God will make you feel as if God is calling out for you. The book is very encouraging and uplifting as the prayers are "raw"; meaning from the depth of Kenya's soul. The book of prayers will give you hope to know that no matter how you see yourself God always sees you as bigger and better if you only allow Him to be the supreme guiding force in your life. The book will also reinforce for you that "all things work together for your good". Sometimes a person can get bogged down with where they have been in their life or where they are in their life until they don't have strength or know how to get back up; the "testimony" reflected in Dear Lord shows God is able to take us from darkness to the glory of such an amazing light if our faith is placed in Him! You will stay encouraged by the testimonies and prayers in Dear Lord.

At the age of sixteen, she migrated to Toronto, Canada, with her Mother, where she finished high school and college. One of her passions is speaking to women, because she WAS a prime example of someone, who constantly underestimated her potential and self worth. She, at one time, undermined every accomplishment in her life that she should have been proud of. Over time and through life experience she has learned how to redirect her energy to her benefit. She is now focused on her current and future goals, instead of looking back on the "what if's", the "why not's", and the "I wish's". She wants to share that same epiphany, with all women! She understands that sometimes we don't realize what we need, until we can talk it rough with someone. Kenya is married to her wonderful husband, Pastor William A.D. Spence II and they reside in Washington, DC.
