Hello
my dear friends! Prayer is the lifeline God has given to us. In today's
Psalms of Discipleship we see an example of how our confession is so
important when we are surrounded by our enemies.
Learning to pray,

Psalms of Discipleship—Principle #21
Life Principles For Those Who Choose To Follow Jesus And Live The Discipled Life
Key Scripture: 1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will
abide in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say to the LORD, "My
refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!" 3 For it is He who
delivers you from the snare of the trapper And from the deadly
pestilence. 4 He will cover you with His pinions, And under His wings
you may seek refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark. Psalm
91:1-4
Core Value: Prayer
Prayer offered up in the
name of Jesus is one of the believer’s most essential spiritual tools.
When you are surrounded by a host of your enemies, its important to make
