22 And one thing more: Prepare a guest room for me, because I hope to be restored to you in answer to your prayers.
Philemon 1:22

While Paul was in prison he wrote many letters, one of which went to Philemon. While Paul was in prison, locked behind gates, bound for death he wrote, “Prepare a guest room for me, because I hope to be restored to you in answer to your prayers”.

Right here Paul says to prepare a guest room for him, knowing with confidence that God will deliver him through his circumstance. I love how powerful that is, that such a man who has committed some of the worse sins is faithful enough to say that God will deliver him from prison.

So many times we think about how difficult our situations are, and that there is nothing that could help us get through it. Well, aren’t we Christians? We serve a God who is faithful and merciful. Nothing is too big or too small for Him to deal with. Give Him your troubles, situations, circumstances.

So you say that you have been through this situation over and over again, but can’t seem to get yourself out of it. I ask you,have you trusted your God enough to leave it up to Him? Is it too much for your God to handle? Instead of praying with power and passion and faith, you pray in hope, and in luck? God is faithful. God is merciful. We have a hard time having faith in someone we cannot see, but like my old youth pastor said, “You have enough faith to work for money that you don’t even have yet,” but you can’t trust your God in faith, who has and can do all things? One thing is for certain, God will on this earth is for no one to suffer and to be delivered from this world which brings nothing, but death. I encourage you to challenge God in your faith. He will answer!
