Trust Him Right Where You Are

Prayer is not getting God to do your will; prayer is getting you ready to do His will. In today’s Scripture notice that if Paul and Silas had the kind of prayer life where they were going to talk to God about what they wanted, they would have said, “Lord, set us free!” Instead of asking God why they wound up in this difficult circumstance or asking Him to get them out of it, they were giving God thanks and praise. Even though they were still in prison, they recognized that He was still on the throne. And even though they didn’t necessarily understand why He allowed them to be put in prison, they believed that He was the God who could deliver them. Which is why at midnight they were singing hymns of praise to God; and suddenly, they were set free.

When you start talking to the King about who He is, about what He’s done, and about what He’s going to do, it means you’re willing to trust Him right where you are. And when you do that, all of a sudden, heaven and earth begin to move, the glory of God fills your life with power, chains of addiction are broken, and captives are set free.

Today’s Prayer: 

Heavenly Father, thank You that no matter where I am, no matter what challenge I face, You are still on Your throne and always worthy of my praise. Help me to keep my focus on declaring how great You are, what You have done, and what You will do in Jesus’ name. Amen!
