\"Raising<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When we think of King David, it is easy to forget that he was in a lot of difficult situations. If anyone knew how to raise prayers for hopeless situations, it was this man. This was a man after God\u2019s heart. Yet he was also a man of war. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was a man who was once trapped by lust and orchestrated his adversary\u2019s death to take his wife. This is the man who went into fasting and prayer<\/a> when he knew that his son was going to die. He was praying<\/a> for God\u2019s word through his prophet not to come through. And when it came to pass, we know that he got up and ate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book of Job is filled with prayers<\/a> and conversation from a man who was in an inexplicably hopeless situation. Job\u2019s situation was one that went against everything that he and his peers believed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man had walked in paths of righteousness for his entire life. Yet he was caught in affliction. How could anyone rationalise this? This may be the case for you today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you are. In a place where you are saying, God what have I done wrong. We know from Job\u2019s story that, sometimes bad things happen to good people. When you are in Christ, hope should never die! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me rephrase that. Hope can never die<\/a> when you are in Christ. Christ who is hope was nailed to the cross, placed in a tomb and rose! You cannot keep hope down. That same power that called Lazarus out of the grave lives today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
