Elevate City Church

What do you Pray when you find yourself in prison? Do you pray when you find yourself in prison? You may not find yourself in literal prison today but situationally, mentally, emotionally are you locked up? Imprisoned by anxiety, bound by depression, confined by comparison, arrested in addiction, incarcerated by insecurity. Maybe you feel like your house is a prison. Your home is full of dysfunction. You are trapped in a lifeless marriage, a dead end job, and the doors of disappointment keep slamming in your face. It feels like the proverbial walls are closing in on you. There is a part of you that feels like God is punishing you. Like he’s banished you to the dungeon where it is dark, damp, and lonely. Your future feels like it is slipping away. You’ve forgotten how to dream. You don’t know who you are. You are paralyzed. In chains. Stuck between where you are and where you want to be. You want to know How to turn a prison into a House of Prayer? You pray first for spiritual development instead of circumstantial change. You shift your focus from what God is doing around you to what he is doing within you. Don't miss this powerful message from Pastor Joey McLaughlin on how to turn a prison into a house of prayer. Philippians 1:3-11 3 I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, 4 always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. 6 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. 7 It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. 8 For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. 9 And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
