Shelley Hitz (Author)

Book Description

Prayers Are Powerful

Prayer changes me. When I pray consistently to God something changes within me. And it can change you too. However, sometimes it is easy to get caught up in the busyness of life and not take the time to pray. This book can help you form a habit of coming to God everyday in prayer. 

21 Days to a New Habit of Prayer  

They say it takes 21 days to form a new habit. And so I have shared 21 prayers of gratitude with you to help you form a habit of prayer in your life. I have taken key truths from scripture and reworded them into prayers of gratitude. Combining prayer with God's Word is powerful. I have experienced this in my own life and now want to share it with you.

I pray that these prayers help you to overcome negativity through applying the power of prayer and God's Word to your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great tool to learn positive praying habits October 3, 2012

By Eddie

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I love the way the author began her book, "Prayer changes things. Prayer changes me." Cultivating a positive attitude is one of the most important undertakings of the Christian life. It's far to easy to allow the frustrations of life distract us from the eternal perspective. The Lord has instructed us to rejoice always and be thankful in all things. This heart of gratitude is the foundation of spiritual and emotional health. Yet it's often neglected.

Shelley's approach is simple and straight-forward. In each chapter she shares scriptures of encouragement and her prayer as she personalizes the scripture as a statement of gratitude toward God as if speaking to Him - which is what prayer is all about. If each Christian would take 21 days to put this type of prayer life into practice, it would be life-changing. The author's approach helps the reader pray along with her in agreement with the scriptures, but also serves as an example where readers can adopt her ideas and pray scriptures back to God in their own prayer life. This is something I recommend for everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully written powerful prayers of gratitude October 10, 2012

By Carol Ann

Format:Kindle Edition

How easy it is to forget to thank our Heavenly Father for all He has given us. In a world constantly bombarded with negativity, we often forget how blessed we really are. We can easily slide into a depressive state of mind, forgetting even the simplest of things for which we need to be grateful. In "Gratitude: Overcoming Negativity Through the Power of Prayer and God's Word," author Shelley Hitz reminds us through this 21-day devotional to be grateful. Each devotional is a prayer of gratitude covering topics such as grace, new beginnings, unconditional love, the Holy Spirit, Peace and much more. It takes 21 days to create a new habit. By focusing on gratitude for those 21 days, the reader will be able to step back and view his or her world through new eyes--God's eyes. This book is scripturally sound and the prayers often read like poetry. Each prayer is followed by numerous scriptures to read, savor and pray. I hope that the author creates a paperback version. I would love to have it in that format. However, it is a wonderful resource to help you become more grateful and let go of the negativity in your life that is keeping you from becoming the best you can be for God. It was easy for me to give this book 5 stars!
