When He Rose Lazarus from the Dead in a Hopeless Situation
So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this on account of the people standing around, that they may believe that you sent me. John 11:41-42 (ESV).
In the face of death and hopelessness, Jesus expressed gratitude to the Father for hearing him. This acknowledgment of God’s faithfulness led to the miraculous raising of Lazarus, turning despair into belief and hope.
How do you respond to seemingly hopeless situations? Can you thank God in advance for His faithfulness and intervention?
Prayer: Father God, Please help me, in moments of despair and hopelessness, to thank you for hearing my prayers. Strengthen my faith to trust in your power to bring life and hope. In Jesus name, Amen.
