before we pray I'd like to share a short message and then we'll pray together I want to encourage you today to praise God in advance regardless of what you're going through whatever it is you're praying for whether it's healing from an illness a breakthrough in your life or a change in your circumstances thank the Lord for the miracle that's already in motion praise him for the Breakthrough that is already on its way even though you can't see it yet even when what's right in front of you might suggest otherwise choose to give God the glory
and honor he deserves knowing that he is already working things out for your good here's the powerful truth that will change the way you approach life's challenges when you praise God in advance you are shifting your Focus you're taking your attention away from the problems the pain the frustration and all the things that are trying to weigh you down and you're placing it on Jesus Christ the one who is greater than all of your struggles this act of Praise isn't about ignoring the difficulties you face it's about acknowledging that no matter how overwhelming things might
seem right now Jesus is bigger than it all his power his grace and his love far exceed any obstacle that's the beauty of praising God in advance when you praise him in the midst of your struggle you are saying to the challenges before you you do not have the power to steal my praise yes the situation might be uncomfortable yes the pain might be great yes you might feel overwhelmed by the circumstances in your life but when you lift your eyes toward God and your voice in Praise You are boldly declaring Jesus is still bigger
than all of this no matter how tough it gets he is always greater and he is worthy of all the praise when you praise God in advance you're acknowledging that he is bigger than all the worries and challenges you face he is bigger than the difficult conversations with your supervisor at work he is bigger than the financial struggles that seem overwhelming he is bigger than the Betrayal of someone you trusted you're saying Lord even though my car is breaking down my relationships are falling apart and I don't know how I'm going to make ends meet
I trust that you are bigger than in all of this your praise in advance declares that no situation no hardship no circumstance is greater than the power and faithfulness of our God there is so much power in praising God in advance even when it's not easy it's an act of faith that frees you from the weight of worry and fear you're saying Lord I don't have all the answers but I trust that you do and I trust that you are already at work on my behalf as Believers we are called to praise God not just
for the blessings we can see or for what we hope to receive but for who he is we praise him for his amazing sacrifice for his unconditional love which is so vast that he sent his only son to die for us so that we could have eternal life with him that love alone is reason enough to praise him even before we see the answers to our prayers so today I encourage you to take a stand whatever you're facing right now remember that it is not bigger than Jesus Christ whatever you're going through whether it's a
difficult season an impossible situation or a moment of doubt it can never be bigger than the Lord he is Almighty the all powerful one who holds your life In His Hands he knows your struggles he sees your pain and he is bigger than anything you could ever face consider the story of Paul and Silas in Acts 16 acts 16: 25 and 26 it says about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God and the other prisoners were listening to them suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison
were shaken at once all the prison doors flew open and everyone's chains came loose despite being beaten imprisoned and Shackled they didn't focus on their chains or the dark prison cell they didn't focus on the gods or the uncomfortable situation they found themselves in instead they chose to focus on God at midnight they began to pray and sing hymns to God lifting their voices in Praise despite their suffering they trusted God in the most difficult of circumstances and their praise led to a miraculous breakthrough it wasn't their complaints or their doubts that moved God it
was their praise in the same way when you praise God in advance you're inviting him to move in your life in ways you may not even expect your praise has the power to shake the very foundations of your struggles break the chains that are holding you and open doors that you thought were permanently closed now let us come before the Lord in prayer dear God Almighty ruler of the universe creator of all things you are Divine in all your ways today I lift my heart in praise and adoration to you Lord for all that you
