60 Scriptures You Can Pray - by Danika Cooley (Paperback)

About the Book

Learn how to communicate with God and draw closer to Him by praying His Word in 60 Scriptures You Can Pray.

Book Synopsis

How do you pray when you don't know what to say? The Bible holds the answer.

God doesn't expect us to pray without guidance. In fact, Scripture is full of examples of ordinary people approaching our extraordinary God in prayer.

Award-winning author Danika Cooley believes that praying God's Word teaches us how to best communicate with our Lord. "There are so many lessons we can learn from Scripture about how to approach God and what to expect when we do," she says.

Danika's devotional 60 Scriptures You Can Pray covers eight types of prayer from the Bible, the expectations we should have when we pray, and the right heart attitude for prayer. It features prayers of praise, thanksgiving, confession, supplication, intercession, deliverance, lament, and guidance.

You will:

- Develop a habit of praying daily over a two-month period

- Learn more about prayer in Scripture

- Understand eight different types of prayer

- Expand your understanding of how to pray biblically

- Become better acquainted with God, His Word, and why we pray

Review Quotes

Eight minutes. It occurs to me that if you invest that much time each day for two months in Danika Cooley's thoughtfully crafted devotional, you'll find yourself praying the exact words spoken by dozens of real people who lived the Bible--Peter, David, Hannah, Mary, Paul, Job, Hagar, Elisha, Esther, Joel, Jabez, Deborah, and many more. What a blessing! Just don't be surprised if eight minutes turns into thirty ... or into a lifetime of praying without ceasing.

Have you noticed that your prayers tend to follow the same familiar paths? You feel sure that talking with God can be more personal and vibrant, but you are not sure how to get there.
