a prayer of praise is used to give gratitude to someone that has accomplished something in the past
Biblical case claim more power in praise than in prayer? Praise is prayer, we cannot separate the two. Not a question of power but that the Spirit is joined to our spirits to bear witness that we are children of God. The Holy Spirit teaches us how to praise. When we pray in the form of praise we know that we cooperated with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit who teaches the Church and recalls to her all that Jesus said also instructs her in the life of prayer, inspiring new expressions of the same basic forms of prayer. Basic forms of prayer are blessing, petition (foregiveness), intercession (ask on behalf of another), thanksgiving and praise. Praise is a form of prayer. Prayer of praise is entirely disinterested and rises to God, lauds him, and gives him glory for his own sake, quite beyond what he has done, but simply because HE IS. Catehcism of Catholic Church, Part 4, Christian Prayer. Come Holy Spirit, fill the Hearts of your faithfull. Let us Praise God unceasingly. Ernst Schelb, D.M.D, San Antonio, TX

I believe that you are referring to the Preface.
Prayer in the Catholic tradition is communication with God, involving expressions of praise, thanksgiving, petition, and repentance. It is considered essential for developing a personal relationship with God and seeking His guidance and grace in daily life. Through prayer, Catholics seek to deepen their faith, grow in virtue, and align their will with God's.
The first thing that comes to mind of a prayer of praise is where you are thankful of what the Lord has given you, thankful for the food you eat, the life you have and so forth.
