When There's No Way Out

+Sometimes we end up stuck in our circumstances because we forget to pray. We become so focused on the trauma of our trials that we’re consumed by them.

+We wring our hands, talk to our friends about all that’s wrong in our lives, and worry until we have elephant-sized knots in our stomachs. We whine and complain. But we don’t pray.

+Desperate times call for desperate prayers. Moments when we get serious about talking with God.

+When we bare our hearts and souls before Him, asking for His wisdom to know what to do, for His strength to make it through the day, and for those glimmers of hope that remind us that He has it under control. ☝️

🙏 Lord, I feel so stuck in my circumstances. I desperately want out, but the situation seems hopeless and every doorway out seems closed.

+The darkness has overwhelmed me, and I’m so discouraged that I don’t even want to get out of bed. Please help me to get my eyes off my circumstances and onto You.

+And please forgive me for talking to everyone else about my problems instead of talking to You about them. Remind me that You’re the way-maker and that You want what’s best for me. Amen. 🙌🪄🪻💜

+No matter what situations you find yourself in, there are always things to be grateful for—if you’ll just look for them. And doing so will completely change your focus. 🌤️🌞
