If You’re in Trouble, Here’s the Answer

If you are afflicted or being treated badly, or you’re suffering in some way, the bible says, you should pray; I would think so. There is no better time to pray to the Lord than while in a really bad situation. He’s waiting for us to ask and He will respond. Trouble comes to us all sooner or later, so what do you normally do once you’ve learned you’re in a serious pickle. Freaking out does not get God’s attention, nor do your tears alone get Him to move on your behalf. The Lord only has the legal right to help us when we ask Him to. Mankind has the authority on the earth, not God (Genesis 1:26-28). God owns the earth and everything in it, but for now, the devil has legal rights to rule this world system (Psalm 24:1). Once we are born again Christians, we regain rightful authority in the earth, even over Satan. But without this knowledge you will stay in that 12 foot shuffle as if you’re still in bondage. If anyone is glad at heart, he should praise God for it. The joy of the Lord is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10). We worship God for not only blessing Him, but it’s two fold, we get blessed right back by being in His manifested presence during our praise and worship time with Him. If you’re in trouble pray, if you’re glad of heart, praise God for it; it enhances our faith, and reinforces our spiritual integrity.
