What Prison Are You In Right Now? A Prayer for Hope and Joy in Illness, Divorce, or Depression (Acts 16:24)

In today's Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues the story of Paul and Silas in Acts chapter 16, verse 24, where they are placed in the inner cell of the prison with their feet fastened in stocks. Pastor John describes how hard it is to comprehend this physical suffering, and then invites listeners to identify the prison they are in right now. It may be chronic illness, cancer, divorce, aging, emotional pain, or the prison of depression. He then leads a prayer asking God for the kind of hope and joy Paul and Silas had. He prays for deliverance, as we may pray for our daily bread, and also that God would use us in our prison. Pastor John believes that if we are in a hard place for a reason, there may be other people nearby who need to meet Jesus or know Him more deeply. The prayer reminds us that our prisons are temporary and that God promises to work them for good. Text "DAILY" to 71093 to receive Daily Hope videos sent to your phone every day.
