Description

Transform your prayer life in three easy steps!

It sounds like a slick commercial that’s too good to be true, but Jesus did give us three simple directions to follow: ask, seek, knock.  

In the gospel of Matthew, He says: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you” (7:7). Using this as a guide, Deb Hopper unpacks how we can do just that as part of our everyday lives.

Think about it. How much more powerful would your prayers be if you were actually praying with direction and actively receiving answers? God listens and cares about everything we bring to Him, so why not pray in expectation? Deb did, and she wants you to experience the peace that comes from relying on God. 

More than giving a simple prayer strategy, Deb weaves over 30 years of answered prayers through this book to show you how she learned to pray. At the end of each chapter, she prompts you to experience prayer for yourself. If you want to make prayer a part of your daily routine in a practical way, try Simply Pray. Prayer may just change your life.

"You’re not going to leave this book feeling the same about prayer. You’re not going to leave this book feeling the same about your Father. You are going to finish the book knowing you’re so equipped to speak our native language.
Because you can simply pray and see your whole world change.
Enjoy my mom and her wild wisdom—I get her back for Sunday lunch!"
—From the foreward by Jess Connolly, Author of You Are the Girl for the Job, Breaking Free from Body Shame, and Tired of Being Tired

“Hebrews tells us that faith does not just believe there is a God but also that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. You want to believe not just that there is power in prayer but that there is power in your prayer. I am a living testimony of this book. I watched an imperfect woman faithfully pray and see God move heaven on my behalf. If you need to know a simple path to increase your faith and, in turn, your prayer life, this is the book for you. It will inspire you to get at Jesus’s feet and see Him do some heavy lifting; all you have to do is ASK!”
—Katie Walters, Founder & CEO of Francis + Benedict and coauthor of New Marriage, Same Couple

“In Simply Pray, Debbie’s clarity and simplicity helped me create a fresh practice of prayer. The principles of Matthew 7:7 to ask, seek, and knock are unfolded with refreshing honesty of how messy our prayers begin, practical applications and tools to bring focus to our prayers, and rich illustrations of answered prayers. If your prayer life needs some CPR to bring back a strong heartbeat, this is the book for you.”
—Lisa Allen, Your Confidence Coach, L.J. Allen Coaching

“So many of us feel like absolute failures at prayer. Whether it is our season of life or our attention span that inhibits us, prayer can feel mysterious and strangely hard. Thankfully, Deb Hopper has provided a simple and accessible path forward. With both courageous vulnerability and hard-won faith, Deb is the prayer mentor you have been longing for. If you feel discouraged and stuck, this book is for you!”
—Sharon Hodde Miller, Author of The Cost of Control

“Reading Simply Pray is like sitting down with the Godly (and fun) wiser woman you’ve always wanted to take to coffee with your journal in hand as you rapidly take notes, looking up to say, ‘But, how?’ and ‘What if the answer is always no?’
“Debbie’s personal ‘avalanche’ led to a powerful prayer life, now resulting in words that fall with the soothing grace and beauty of a fresh, gentle snow. These are the pages I didn’t realize I desperately needed to read.”
—Kelly Pelfrey, Professional artist and author of Delight

“Simply Pray
is bursting with insightful wisdom, authoritative truth,
and powerful testimonies that will pull on your heart strings and increase your faith. Whether you are just dipping your toes into prayer or you’ve been fully submersed for years, this book will provide you with strategically effective methods to reach the heart of heaven with your prayers.”
—Jenna Surratt, Sisterhood pastor, Seacoast Church
