Spiritual Roadblocks
But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.—Isaiah 59:2 (NIV)
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.—Acts 16:25 (KJV)
In the above verse, Paul and Silas sang their prayers and God set them free. When you feel let down and discouraged, lift your spirits by singing praises to God. It may sound counter-intuitive or seem difficult to sing when you are sad, but try it. Feel your spirit lift.
Lord, thank You for the joy I feel when I sing your praises— the joy that sets me free and takes me above my own pain and discouragement.
But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.—Isaiah 59:2 (NIV)
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.—Philippians 4:8 (NIV)
I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.—Lamentations 3:24–26 (NIV)
