“Get down on your knees and
ask God to do for you what you cannot do for yourself.”
KEY VERSE: Psalm 107:6
Shortly
after Herod had James, the brother of John killed; he proceeded and arrested
Peter. Herod had decided to kill Peter because he figured it would make the
Jews happy. This became a big problem to the Church because Peter was their
leader. If he is also executed, then there would be a big vacuum. Since the
Church knew they couldn’t physically confront King Herod because of his influence,
they resorted to prayers. In other words, they decided to use the master key to
overcoming crisis.
The scripture says, “The church was earnestly praying to God for him.” I don’t know the sort of crisis you are currently facing. You might be facing a problem that has already overwhelmed you. Or you might be at the brink of giving up. If you are at a point where you feel defeated and have lost the strength to fight back; then do what the disciples did by handing over the matter to God. Like the disciples, pray earnestly. Get down on your knees and ask God to do for you what you cannot do for yourself. And if you’ve lost the strength to pray, ask someone to pray for you. Ask for help!
Prayer/Confession: Heavenly Father, do for me what I cannot do
for myself. Amen.
