I have been on a faith journey for nearly 30 years, and have often struggled with consistency in the Word, wondering if I’m praying ”right”, and wondering if I’m hearing from God or if it’s just my own thoughts. It wasn’t until I faced a couple valleys of my own that I was able to realize that in order to develop the spiritual disciplines and habits that kept me on the path to seeking God - and hearing from Him - it would require seeking Him on a daily basis so I can continue to grow in my relationship with Him.

In Acts 16, Paul and Silas are beaten, thrown into prison, and placed in chains. But around midnight, instead of giving up, they begin praying and singing hymns to God. Then suddenly, an earthquake shakes the prison, the doors open, and everyone’s chains fall off. But here’s the part that gets me: Paul and Silas were free to leave… but they stayed. Because sometimes freedom doesn’t mean leaving. Sometimes freedom means staying surrendered. In today’s Bible study, we’re talking about what it looks like to praise God in the midnight place, follow the Holy Spirit over good advice, and trust that even the places we didn’t sign up for can still be used for God’s glory. If you’ve been asking God for an exit, this episode will encourage you to pause, listen, and ask Him what He’s really doing in this season. 📖 In This Bible Study ✨ Acts 16:16-40 Bible Study✨ Paul and Silas in prison✨ What it means to praise God at midnight✨ Why every open door is not always an exit✨ How obedience can impact someone else’s freedom✨ Staying surrendered when life doesn’t go as planned 🔗 Helpful Links 🩷 For the Soul Prayer Journalhttps://circletimeforthesoul.com/journal ✨ Join the Circle Time Collectivehttps://circletimeforthesoul.com/collective 🙏 Accept Jesus Into Your Hearthttps://peacewithgod.net/steps/ 💛 Support the Ministryhttps://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XEP4CUT65R2H6 📚 Resources Blue Letter Biblehttps://www.blueletterbible.org BibleRefhttps://www.bibleref.com Bible Study Fellowshiphttps://www.bsfinternational.org Through the Bible with Pastor Paul https://www.youtube.com/@Through-the-Bible Spiritual Growth Bible NLThttps://amzn.to/4urjU8R 🎶 Music Buenos…","meta_description":"Hey Sis 💛 Have you ever found yourself in a situation you did not sign up for… but somehow knew God was asking you to stay?
