Patricia Bootsma’s Monthly Prayer Reflection

What Can One Learn from the Book of Job?

Written By Patricia Bootsma

Published on: 01/02/2026

While attending a faith-based school in seventh grade, my teacher gave us students the option to choose a book of the Bible to read each morning. I suggested we read the book of Job. Our teacher's face revealed shock and dismay, yet the students voted and agreed with my choice. So, for the next 42 days–to the chagrin of our teacher– we read a chapter a day from this unique book. I confess that at 12 years old, I had never read Job, and yet I found it fascinating.

A Month of Light

December is a month of light! This month, we celebrate Hanukkah and Christmas, both of which are times of miracles and light! This year, Hanukkah will be celebrated from sundown on December 14 until sundown on December 22. During these days, we remember the Maccabees’ improbable victory over the Greek Seleucid empire that led to the rededication of the Temple and the miraculous lighting of the Temple menorah for eight days, even though there was only enough oil for one. On Christmas, which takes place every year on December 25, we celebrate the miraculous nativity of Jesus (Yeshua) in a manger in Bethlehem– the birth of the Light of the World (John 8:12).

Miracles of Intercession

In the midst of a “roller coaster” two years in the nation of Israel, it is evident that there have been losses, trauma, pain, and trials. However, there have also been miracles. A Scripture I’ve read many times suddenly stood out to me recently in Psalm 99: “They called upon the Lord, and He answered them” (Psalm 99:6b). Indeed, many within Israel and the nations of the earth have arisen in prayer, crying out to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob for a miracle of deliverance. He has heard those prayers.

Charlie Kirk and Israel

Written By Patricia Bootsma

Published on: 10/01/2025

There has been an incredible response worldwide following the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, including in Israel. Many Israeli individuals and organizations have expressed their admiration for Charlie and his bold stance. Prime Minister Netanyahu called Charlie a “lion-hearted friend of Israel,” and he also credited him with defending Judeo-Christian civilization.

New Beginnings

Written By Patricia Bootsma

Published on: 08/29/2025

Israel is a nation in need not only of healing, but also of a fresh start in many ways. A passage we can pray for this war-weary land is Isaiah 43:18-20: “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert… Because I give waters in the wilderness And rivers in the desert, To give drink to My people, My chosen” (NKJV).

Judea and Samaria

Written By Patricia Bootsma

Published on: 07/31/2025

Recently, the Knesset voted 71-13 in favor of a resolution calling on the government to “apply Israeli sovereignty, law, judgment and administration to all the areas of Jewish settlement of all kinds in Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley.” The declaration went on to state Judea and Samaria are “an inseparable part of the Land of Israel, the historical, cultural and spiritual homeland of the Jewish people” and that “Israel has the natural, historical and legal right to all of the territories of the Land of Israel.” This is an incredible turn of events.
