Jeremiah was imprisoned, yet God gave him instruction in prayer. What can we do in difficult times? God invites us to call on Him. Like Jeremiah we can respond to God’s invitation to prayer. 1. His prompting - “Call on me” (v. 33a). 2. His promise - (v. 33b). (a) “I will answer thee” (b) “I will show thee” 3. His provision - “Great and mighty things which you do not know” (v. 33c).
Let’s look at some examples of answered prayer from Scripture: Hannah prayed, and God gave her a son, Samuel. Elijah prayed and it didn’t rain for 3 ½ years. He prayed again and the rains returned. On another occasion, Elijah prayed and God consumed the sacrifice that had been drenched with water (1 Kings 18:37-38). Elisha prayed and God gave life back to a dead child. Samson prayed and God gave him back his strength. Paul and Silas prayed and the prison they were in was shaken and the jailer got saved! Jesus prayed a brief prayer, and Lazarus came back from the dead.
Application
God is ready to answer my prayers but I must ask for His assistance.
