Let God Take Over Your Situation | A Powerful Blessed Morning Prayer To Uplift You

before we pray I would like to share a story with you a powerful testimony that should teach all of us a lesson about perseverance faith and having a Biblical perspective in life in 2003 Aaron Ralston a highly experienced outdoor Enthusiast found himself literally between a rock and a hard place Aaron had traveled to Southeastern Utah to explore Canyon land's National Park on April 25th 2003 now as this solo hiker descended into the canyon something he didn't account for happened a giant boulder above him slipped and trapped his arm much like life sometimes we can plan

for this or we can plan to do that and then something unfortunate happens and all of a sudden you're trapped with sickness in your body or you're trapped with anxiety because the economy is failing and so what do you do when the unexpected happens and you realize that you need to let go of the fear of death so that you can grab hold of the eternal life offered in Jesus Christ and so here is Aaron Ralston stuck trapped hemmed in for 5 days and when speaking about this particular Point Aaron said he had to talk

with himself and tell himself that he had no choice but to cut his arm off the process took an hour and Aaron lost 25% of his blood volume but despite being dehydrated despite him losing blood and feeling weak and despite him only having one hand once free from the 800 lb Boulder he climbed out of the canyon and sought help now this is not an easy story to hear and I take nothing lightly but Aaron Rolston has been quoted saying I did not lose my arm but gain back my life he's also said some powerful

things that inspired me to tell you this message the first quote is when trauma happens we choose whether it's going to be a tragedy or a Triumph we choose whether we are going to be victims or Victors the second is everyone has a boulder in their life due to stress uncertainty and fear you do whatever it takes in order to turn those Boulders into triumphs rolon said when the boulders come and they will may your Boulders be your blessings too I don't know what form War the boulder in your life will come in but whatever

circumstance you face today remember that the Bible says in Psalm 40:2 he Lifted Me Out of the pit of despair out of the mud and the mire he set my feet on Solid Ground and steadied me as I walked along believe in the Lord and He will lift you up out of the pit you're in and set you on Solid Ground your Boulder may come as heartbreak or betrayal it may come God will see you through as long as you see yourself through the word of God you are more than a conqueror you are fearfully

and wonderfully made don't be discouraged hold on to the promise that God will lift you out of the pit of despair and set your feet On Solid Ground Paul in 2 Corinthians 1:5 said for as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings so through Christ we share abundantly in Comfort too if we are afflicted it is for your comfort and salvation and if we are comforted it is for your comfort which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer suffer Our Hope for you is unshaken for we know that as you share

in our sufferings you will also share in our comfort for we do not want to be unaware Brothers of the Affliction we experienced in Asia for we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we Des spared of life itself indeed we felt that we had received the sentence of death but that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead he delivered us from such a deadly Peril and he will Deliver Us on him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again while in Asia Paul

states that he had experienced Affliction he experienced severe trials and he says he was burdened Beyond strength so much so that he despaired of life itself he said It felt as though he had received a death sentence can you imagine that can you imagine going through hardships that make you feel as though you have a death sentence written against your name can you imagine being burdened by problems this is how Paul Paul felt but if you pay attention to what he says in verse 9 Paul says indeed we felt that we had received the sentence

of death but that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the Dead He's essentially saying these difficult times these tough times have taught us to lose all faith in ourselves and to place all of our trust in The God Who raises the Dead all of us go through tough times all of us go through Seasons where it seems as though the odds are stacked against us and pain becomes a feeling we're all too acquainted with in Psalms 119:71 David said it is good for me that I have been Afflicted

that I may learn your statutes and I've always asked the question how can it be good for you to be afflicted how is there any good for you to go through pain tribulation and hard times but here's the thing afflictions tough situations do more than simply show what kind of character we have tough times shape and form out character now I believe that Affliction although unpleasant is necessary for the Christian man or woman because if it were not for the struggle you're going through how would you know that God will never leave you nor forsake

you if it were not for the Affliction in your body how else would you know that by his stripes we are healed if it were not for the financial challenges you faced how would you have known that the Lord is a provider problems can sometimes be a blessing saints of God so be encouraged regardless of what you're facing now let us pray Lord Jesus you are worthy to receive all of my praise and adoration if troubles weigh us down your mercy your grace will lift us up although the heart hardships of life may push us

to our limits by your mercy and by your grace Lord we will overcome father the situations we face at times may be tragic and heartbreaking but we Look to You Lord by your mercy and by your grace we are more than conquerors may your Divine will be accomplished in my life if the trial I face is meant to shape me and mold me and a way that is more pleasing to you then may your will be done if the trial I face is meant to build my faith and build my character then may your will

be done Lord if the trial I face is meant to train me to become more patient more prayerful more grateful then may your will be done father whatever your will is for allowing me to face difficulty may you achieve within me that which you have set out to achieve Transform Me renew me teach me whatever the objective is I surrender to you Lord Jesus Psalms 102 verse1 and2 say hear my prayer oh Lord let my cry come to you do not hide your face from me in the day of my distress incline your ear to

me answer me speedily in the day when I call Lord hear our cry when we encounter difficulty when we're caught in trouble Deliver Us and be our help Father your word in James 1 verse 2-4 says count it all joy my brothers when you meet Trials of various kinds for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness and let steadfastness have its full effect that you may be perfect and complete lacking in nothing father if I am to face difficult times if I am to endure tough times may it all be For Your

Glory I pray that you would use any difficult challenges to build my character use those afflictions to strengthen my faith Lord help me to understand that sometimes you may allow afflictions into my life so that I may grow spiritually so that I may learn to pray with more intensity Lord I understand that you are more concerned about my character than my comfort levels you care more about my growth as a Believer than the number of blessings I receive you Lord are more concern with the state of my heart than the level of my comfort 1

Peter chapter 1: 6 to7 says in this you rejoice though now for a little while if necessary you have been grieved by various trials so that the tested genuiness of your faith more precious than gold that perishes though it's tested by fire may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ Lord as I I face various trials May the result be that I will trust you more May the result of my trials be that I have stronger faith I pray that every Affliction would lead me to spiritual

maturity I pray that every Affliction will leave me with a desire to really connect with you Lord Jesus because I know that I cannot go through this life with My Own Strength Lord your word tells me that many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers him out of them all and so I look to you as my rescue father when you allow me to go through tough times when you allow me to face certain obstacles I will hold on to your word your word that says in Psalm 34:1 15-18 the eyes of

the Lord are toward the righteous and his ears toward their cry the face of the Lord is against those who do evil to cut off the memory of them from the Earth when the righteous Cry for Help the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles the Lord is near to the Brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit I bless your holy name and I thank you for hearing my prayer Lord Jesus be glorified now and forever more in Jesus name I pray amen he Lifted Me Out of the pit of despair out

of the mud and the mire he set my feet on Solid Ground and steadied me as I walked along when you meet Trials of various kinds for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness and let Stead fastness have its full effect that you may be perfect and complete lacking in [Music] nothing in this you rejoice though now for a little while if necessary you have been grieved by various trials so that the tested genuiness of your faith more precious than gold that perishes though it's tested by fire may be found to result

in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ
