Our House: A 5-Day Prayer for the Local ChurchChikamu

An Open Door

Think of a time when God opened a door for you that you couldn’t have opened for yourself. As you remember answered prayers, restored relationships, ministry opportunities, and conversations about the gospel, take a minute to thank God for the times He came through for you, when you couldn’t do what you needed to do in your own strength. When we face trials, suffering, and doubts, it is essential that we remember the many times God has provided for us in the past. We can hold on to His promises that will remain with us and guide us through difficult times.

Today’s scripture teaches us that Jesus has the “key of David”—that is, He has all authority over creation and over God’s kingdom. When Jesus opens a door, no one else can shut it. And through the cross, He has swung open the doors of heaven for all who call upon His name. When we were at our weakest, Jesus stretched out His arms so we could be welcomed in as beloved children.

Let’s continue to trust Him, even when we have little strength, for He is “holy and true,” and He will not forget us.

Prayer
Father, thank You for the doors You have opened for me. Help me remain faithful to Your name, knowing that You have already opened the doors of heaven for me!
