The Girl Who Prayed the Storm Away

Ariella James came to Harbor's Rest to disappear. Shattered by betrayal, financial ruin, and the emotional abuse of the man she thought she loved, she fled the city and buried her formidable spiritual gift—intercession—on the remote coast. She believes she is too broken to be used by God, seeking only the silence of her isolated cottage. But the quiet coastal town holds its own spiritual secrets. An elderly prayer warrior, Sister Miriam, sees past Ariella's shame and speaks a terrifying prophecy: Ariella was positioned in Harbor's Rest not to hide, but to fight. When a massive cyclone bears down on the town, the prophecy demands fulfillment. As nightmares and spiritual oppression intensify, Ariella is forced to confront her past and confess the truth, discovering that the enemy attacks hardest when purpose awakens. Torn between the fear of public failure and the undeniable call, Ariella must step out of the shadows and onto the spiritual battlefield. The resulting battle is not just against wind and rain, but against the shame that has held her captive. Guided by the steady faith of Pastor Jonas and the quiet strength of local fisherman, Caleb Ward, Ariella discovers that brokenness does not disqualify calling; it authenticates it. The Girl Who Prayed the Storm Away is an emotionally resonant novel about finding courage in vulnerability, reclaiming identity after trauma, and learning that God heals what people hide—and that sometimes, the storm is exactly what is needed to set you free.
