The Prayer That Changes Everything: The Hidden Power of Praising God

by Stormie Omartian

Overview

Stormie Omartian inspires readers to open their lives to the prayer that changes everything—the prayer of praise to God. This bestselling look at prayer and worship has a fresh cover for a new audience.

Intimate conversations with God often focus on immediate needs, concern for others, and direction regarding His will, but praise requires believers to look beyond themselves and their circumstances and place their attention solely on God. Stormie shares personal stories, biblical truths, and practical guiding principles to reveal the wonders that take place when Christians offer praise in the middle of difficulties, sorrow, fear, and, yes, abundance and joy.

Study questions are incorporated into each chapter so that readers receive the opportunity to put what they learn into practice. The Prayer That Changes Everything helps them uncover the amazing power, benefit, and freedom that can be found in praising God.
