Each Month several Prayer Minutes will be shared on a topic to help us turn to the Lord in prayer. These Prayer Minutes are short encouragements to pray. Take time to consider them, and work the reflection questions.
PM#0551
May the Lord uphold us and protect us, so we can mature in Him. Help us Lord to keep our eyes on You, and to give You praise as Jehoshaphat did in Israel when faced with an impossible battle. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. PM#0551 Based on: II Chronicles 20 and Isaiah 9:6 –‘Prince of Peace’ Note: A prince ‘upholds’ (taken from the study on Prince of Peace, in Day 18 in the book 31 Names of God)

Malva,
I looked at the Video--It shares about helping Israeli's have the opportunity to have the New Testament- and to hear testimonials of what it is doing for them-
Thank you for encouraging us to see it.
Lord, thank You that You see us and encourage us, in Jesus Christ's Name, amen.

'This video is for Christians' is a spoken word poetry poem for christian motivation, encouragement, mental health and passion. Get set on fire for Jesus and remember why we do this, let's glorify Him.
Today's Prayer Scripture:
Matthew 6:6 Amplified Bible (AMP)
6 But when you pray, go into your [most] private room, and, closing the door, pray to your Father, Who is in secret; and your Father, Who sees in secret, will reward you in the open.
Great Statment--Virtuous Lady!
This past year I read Mark Batterson's book The Circle Maker. It was such an inspiration to keeping pressing in through prayer.
Britany,
Many of us have brought hurts on ourselves. What is important to remember that:
I share these—they are ones that have helped me when I mess up—and I do mess up—I hate to admit that.
Sometimes, it is difficult to correct a hurt, especially when it involves someone else. Go to the Lord first, and ask His forgiveness, and if someone else is involved, be willing to go to them in humility, asking forgiveness.
Then there is one more thing that should be done, which I have found to help me not bring past issues up, and that is to bless the other person. I do not know why, but when I bless someone, where there has been a wrong, it helps me not to have to be bringing that past issue up.
I don’t know if the above will help you, but consider it. Most of all, remember, Jesus loves you very much. You are important to Him.
May God help you through that hurt.
As this New Year enters, I will be praying that we all will find ways to encourage and lift each other here and others elsewhere - up to the Lord inprayer.
Have a Blessed New Year
