New guidebook aims to help Christians seek God's presence, peace, and power in life's challenging circumstances
DALLAS, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Many people face devastating or difficult news and struggle to find a way forward. They pray, yet their problems persist or even grow. Recognizing that finding the right words in prayer may be challenging, author Ginger Hertenstein Conley offers guidance in her new book, "What to Say When You Pray: Step into Bible stories; step out with bold prayers and courageous faith!"
From the reflections of scripture and real-life testimonies, including a life-changing moment of healing from a family friend battling stage four cancer, Conley explores how people throughout the Bible leaned into faith in times of crisis through prayer, whether facing natural disasters, political upheaval, illness, or personal loss. As they turned to God in prayer, they experienced healing in all areas, mentally, physically, and spiritually.
"This book is more than a Bible study," Conley said. "It's an invitation to engage deeper with God. I share a true story of a woman with cancer whose loved ones prayed together weekly, demonstrating the power of united faith in a time of crisis."
Conley's insights aim to remind readers that prayer is not about having the perfect words, but about coming before a God who hears, cares, and answers. No matter the situation, her book encourages believers to trust in God's love and seek his wisdom.
"If you or someone you love is walking through a difficult season, hold their hand," Conley said. "Help guide them in finding comfort and the assurance that God delights in answering prayers. Readers may trust God's timing and feel peace from surrendering their burdens to him because anything is possible through the power of prayer."
