Praise for Refresh Your Prayers, Uncommon Devotions to Restore Power and Praise
“Why not pray more? What should I pray in this situation? How do I pray when this happens? When do I stop praying for…? Perhaps many of our questions can be answered in Chapter 10, “Growing in Relationship with God” where Lori reminds and corrects some of us that “God invites us to pray for many reasons, but the primary reason is to cultivate a relationship with us.” Those pleasant and even difficult circumstances have great potential for believers when experienced in prayer. Lori, helps us answer some of the toughest questions about prayer, how and what should one pray, and encouragement to be steadfast in prayer.” ~ C. Smith, reader
“Refresh Your Prayers is like sitting down with a close friend over a cup of coffee. Lori gently encourages the reader to try out new ways to talk with God, but she doesn’t simply tell us what to do; she draws us in through short personal stories that connect to the Bible verses and the main idea of each chapter. I often find written prayers to feel stiff and unnatural, but Praise Prompts are relaxed conversational prayers, the way I imagine talking to our Heavenly Father. And Lori’s sweet spirit models the Father’s tender heart, making talking with Him as comfortable as confiding in a best friend. I will savor reading this book many times as I take steps to enrich my own prayer life.” ~Amazon customer
“It’s hard for me to find devotional books that are warm and gentle enough to give to a new believer, yet deeply satisfying enough to give to a mature one. I was delighted with this one. It is brimming with interesting stories and enriching insights; great depth wrapped in a soft hug. This is a perfectly timed gift book for all ages and stages of maturity. I know so many people who seem to be returning to prayer after a long time away… though unfortunately, not attending church. So, I’ve ordered four copies as gifts. Expect a best-seller here.” ~Elizabeth Brickman, Author of Wealth Blessed
From the Back Cover
We know Bible reading and prayer are vital to our faith, but what happens when our prayer lives become stagnant and our quiet times grow stale? Worse yet, what do we do when our prayers seem ineffective and our faith falters? Rehearsing the same words over and over can pull us into a rut. Is God really listening to this? Maybe it’s time for something new. In Refresh Your Prayers: Uncommon Devotions to Restore Power and Praise, Lori Hatcher helps you recover a passion for prayer and praise. She tackles questions we often stumble over:
*If God is in control, why bother praying?
*Do I have enough faith for God to answer my prayers?
*Is every promise in the Bible meant for me?
*How can I know God is speaking to me?
If you’re tired of ho-hum prayer time, Refresh Your Prayers is the answer.
