How to Pray in times of need and challenge


Nehemiah is teaching this secret to us in the Bible. 

 * In Nehemiah 1:5-11, He confesses the sins of his own, shortcomings and failures. He pleads for God's mercy and forgiveness, humbly seeks God's Grace and restoration. He Prays for God's favour and blessing on his endeavours, asks God to guide and prosper his efforts.

* In Nehemiah 4:4-5, He intercedes for protection from enemies and adversaries and requests God's shield against those who oppose him. He highlights gratitude for God's faithfulness and provision and acknowledges God's past blessings and trust in His continued care.

* In Nehemiah 9:5-38, He offers a comprehensive prayer of confession and thanksgiving and acknowledges God's greatness and faithfulness. He examines his reliance on God and His power and calls out his limitations and trust in God's ability to work through him , to him. 
 
In summary, His Prayers cover sincere confession, cry out for His Grace, seeking Favour, requests Guidance, wisdom in decision-making, expects His strength, asking Courage to persevere in the face of challenges and empowerment to overcome obstacles by having an unwavering Trust in God's promises and faithfulness. 

Let's also express our deep faith and reliance on God and undoubted belief that God will fulfil His Word and work all things for our good in times of need. In Jesus Name, Amen. Hallelujah!!!

Peace be upon The State of Israel and Us.🙏 
Shalom. 🙏🙏
Have a Good weekend. 
In His Grip...🙏🙏🙏

Root verb: τηρέω (tēreō) — not the more common Greek word for "obey" (peithomai/hypakouō, meaning to submit to authority), but a word that literally means "to guard," "to watch over," "to keep watch". It's the word used for a guard keeping watch at a post, or someone safeguarding a treasure. Love is defined by obedience, not sentiment. Jesus doesn't say "if you love me, feel devoted to me" — he ties love to concrete action. In John's Gospel, love is verifiable; it shows up in behaviour, not just emotion. The Greek verb for "keep" (tērēsete) is future tense and follows a conditional — love isn't presented as a prerequisite for a transaction ("obey...
