Dear Praying Friends…Life is hard, but God is GOOD! I was reminded today in a prayer session at our local prayer room that circumstances don’t change Who God is. He is with us in the hard places and in the good places. He hears our slightest “sighs” and our shouts of “Hallelujah!”
This past weekend, as I was preparing to minister to the women of our local jail, I revisited the Beatitudes in Luke 6. They are worth studying and can be found in Matthew 5:3-12, Luke 6:20-23. These are the inspiration for our prayer prompt this month:
Show Us Your Glory, Lord… Help Us to THRIVE in 2025 and help us to walk as “blessed”!
Let’s keep praying this month for the Lord to teach us about what it means to be truly “Blessed!”

Prayer “Pointer”: This is what Chuck Swindoll says about the Beatitudes: these are eight character traits that identify true servanthood. When all eight are mixed together in a life, balance emerges.
Prayer “Fuel”: Lord, help me to see the “hungry” places as places to know You more. Help me to see the sad places as places to rely on Your joy. Help me to surrender my understanding and my will to Your understanding and Your will. I want to be a true servant of Yours. (add your own prayers) Show Us Your Glory, Lord… Help Us to THRIVE in 2025 and help us to walk as “blessed”!
Think/Journal/Apply: How is my understanding of the word “blessed” incorrect?
As You Have Time: Pray for your church (if you have one) and two other churches in Your community: Come, Holy Spirit!
