I’m praying in the times of trouble.(Act 16: 23-26)
When we are in car accident or we need help, where would you like to
call to?
911 or police office…(let children speak)
Yes…
they are so appreciated person. Whenever we need help, they help us. Like this
God also help Us when we pray “God help me” in difficult situation.
Paul
and Silas had travel for preaching the word of GOD.
During
that time, they helped a girl who was possessed by an evil spirit.
By
the way, bad people got angry and reported Paul and Silas to police.
Because
they earned money through this girl.
So
the police beat Paul and Silas, and then tore off their clothes and put them in
a jail.
So Paul and Silas were in the jail, their hands and feet
were handcuffs, and their whole body was bloody.
In this kind of situation, what can we do?
When we meet with this difficult situation, it’s time to pray “God help
me”
Paul and Silas knew that this time is the time to pray.
So they started praise to GOD and prayed to the Lord, even though they
had pain and couldn’t move their hands and feet.
Sometimes, do you feel fear? At that moment, what can we do?
When you sick, what can you do?
When your mother and father fight each other, what can you do? We can
pray.
And you can tell to your parents at that time, “mummy and daddy, don’t fight
each other, don’t be sad, God will help us, pleas let’s pray.” And in fact, by
the praying you can also help your parents.
When Paul and Silas praised to GOD and prayed, suddenly there was
earthquake and opened prison door and the handcuffs came loose.
The jailer was surprised because he thought the prisoners had escaped. So
he tried to kill himself. At that time Paul shouted to him, “don’t harm
yourself! We are all here” and he comforted jailer and share the word of GOD with
jailer and his family.
And Paul baptized them.
God always listens to our prayer and answer to us. He
is good our father.
Let’s pray when we in time of trouble.. amen?
