An Online Devotional About the Life of Lord Jesus

Praying Through The Storm's Waves

Sometimes I find myself thinking too much about what is going on around us in the United States. We believers can sense that change is coming, is even upon us. The headlines and news are overwhelming and negative. We can feel isolated, being separated from the body of Christ, friends, and family for so long. This can lead to depressed thoughts.

Depressed thoughts can cycle down into a well of despair. Before I get too far down, I make a few Biblical moves on the chessboard of life.

First, I reach out to a close friend(s) for prayer. You don’t need to necessarily be specific, just text another person whom you know prays and say, “Hey, I need prayer right now.” On Facebook I have seen some of you reaching out, even while struggling with COVID 19 from the hospital.

If you can, talk with this prayer intercessor, explaining how you feel. It’s good to talk to another human being. Where two or more are gathered, in His Name, He is. (Matthew 18:20)

Prayer makes a difference. The prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much. (James 5:16)

Second, I focus on gratitude in my prayer life. Have you ever had to force yourself to sing in church or to smile when you didn’t feel like it? That’s what this prayer is about. Look around yourself and begin to give thanks for what you have—the simple things that do not exist in other Christian cultures—enough food, air conditioning, your family, your job, a home, even your little dog. Give thanks at all times. (1Thessalonians 5:18)

Corrie ten Boom learned to give thanks for the fleas while in a concentration camp because they kept the Nazi guards out of the prisoner barracks, enabling for the sharing of the Gospel before many of the women were sent to their deaths. Many times what we despise is being allowed by God for His higher purposes.

Psalm 22:4 says, “In You our fathers trusted; they trusted and You delivered them.” Trust in God, ask Him to bring you up and out of a deep well.

Ask Him to open your eyes and show you what He’s doing. Give thanks when He does.

Are you praying through the storm?
