Pivotal Praying: Connecting with God in Times of Great Need

Using biblical examples, Hull and Elmore teach readers how to pray at critical junctures in life, progressing beyond damage control into the realm of strategic prayer.

We all face critical forks in the road—marriage, the death of a loved one, the birth of a child, or a personal health crisis. How are we to pray at these junctures? Perhaps our instinct is to send up a quick “911” prayer, but authors John Hull and Tim Elmore demonstrate how by praying the right prayer at the right time, we can see the incredible impact of what God can do.

Scripture offers countless examples of men and women who prayed strategically and saw results. Remember Solomon’s prayer for wisdom? He received it—and wealth beyond his imagination as well. And how about Hannah’s desire for a child? God honored her prayer; her son Samuel became the greatest judge in Israel’s history. Pivotal Praying uses these examples and others to illustrate the power of effective—and ineffective—praying. For those seeking to enlarge their prayer vision and alter their circumstances for God’s glory, Pivotal Praying is an ideal resource.
