2 Kings 6:1 says, “And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, ‘See now, the place where we dwell with you is too small for us.’” 

In this passage, the sons of the prophets recognized that their current dwelling was inadequate for their growing needs. 

This acknowledgment is essential, as we often feel a longing for something greater in our lives. These desires remind us that there are things beyond our natural abilities and wisdom. But with God, all things are still possible. 

God has destined us for greater purposes, transforming you and me into what we could never become on our own. He invites us to step into a life of faith where we can experience His supernatural power. 

Consider today areas in your life that feel limited, and seek God’s guidance for the greater things that He’s calling you to for His glory. Talk to God about it. 

It’s time to pray. 

For many years, people sit in the house of God and don’t understand that there is a unique calling in each individual life. And it’s much bigger than you and I just being part of someone else’s ministry. 

There’s a calling given to you by God. It was given to you before you were even formed in your mother’s womb. The Lord knew you, and He called you to a specific thing that can only be achieved through you. 

The calling of God comes from the enablement of God’s Holy Spirit. It is God Himself that takes us beyond our natural ability. He takes us to places we can’t naturally go and gives us giftings we don’t naturally have. 

You’ve been called to be a part of this time in history for His glory. If you don’t know what you’re called to do, ask Him to show it to you. If ever there was a time to pray and say, Jesus, how can you be glorified through me? It’s now. 

It’s time to pray. 

Luke 19:40 says, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.” 

Don’t let silence take the place of your voice. Praise Him for His faithfulness, His mercy, His victory in your life, and the victories that are coming to your life. 

Today, use your voice to praise God. Don’t let anything take your place of worship. Declare the goodness of God with everything in you. 

You’ll be amazed at what happens when you begin to do this. 

It’s time to pray. 

Lamentations 3:23 says, “Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning.” 

Morning by morning, God’s mercies renew. Step by step, He’s transforming us from what we were into what He’s making us to be. 

This journey is a process, but with each victory, we become more like Christ. When we come together as the body of Christ, we should never remain silent. The victory of the cross is something to be celebrated, and our songs of praise declare God’s goodness. 

Don’t hold back. Lift your voice and share the victories God has brought into your life. Take a moment to reflect on God’s mercies and victories. Let your song be a declaration of His goodness and faithfulness. 

As a matter of fact, sing right now. Sing right now. Don’t hold back. 

It’s time to pray. 

When God speaks, every other voice must be silent. Doubt, fear, and condemnation have no power over His words. He has declared a purpose for your life, and no accusation—whether from the enemy, the world, or even from your own heart—can change that. 

The Lord has justified you, and no one has the right to call you unworthy. 

Silence the voices of insecurity and fear. Let your anxious thoughts today be still. The accuser has no authority over you. God is greater than your heart, your past, and any opposition that you find yourself in or facing today. 

Stand firm in faith, knowing that what He has spoken over your life will come to pass. Trust Him today. Trust His promises. They will never fail. 

It’s time to pray. 

I remember the day that God set me free. After nine years of battling panic attacks, fear, and exhaustion, I read a verse—or part of a verse—that changed everything. Paul said, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31) 

In that moment, I prayed, and in just one minute, God broke the chains that had held me for so long. That was the beginning of my testimony, a victory by God’s power. 

It’s not just my story—it’s a reminder that God’s freedom is available to all of us. 

Like Paul, we may not have reached the fullness of everything that God has for us, but we can leave the past behind and move forward in His promises. 

Reflect today on the victories that God has already brought you through. If you’re still struggling, trust that He has the power to set you free, just as He has for many of us before you. 

Ask Him about it today. He will set you free.

In Acts 2, a murderous spirit had overtaken that society. In addition to that, they were occupied by a foreign nation called Rome. One hundred twenty people with no power, no political authority, no army, gathered in an upper room in unity to pray. 

They were there to see the risen Christ glorified, and they each felt that they were called to preach the gospel. As they began to pray, God’s Holy Spirit began to fill the room. Each of them was given power, ability, and courage that natural people just don’t have. 

They stepped out of that upper room, they went into the public square, and in just a few short years, even the nation of Rome bent its knee to the presence of Jesus Christ. 

When the church walks together in unity, when the church begins to pray, the presence of God is released, society begins to change, and miracles begin to happen. 

Oh God, help us to pray again. 

It’s time to pray. 

Psalm 92:4 says, “For You, Lord, have made me glad through Your work; I will triumph in the works of Your hands.” 

David reminds us that worship isn’t just personal—it’s actually communal. 

When we gather together with other believers, we declare God’s victory, even if we haven’t experienced it all yet ourselves. It’s crucial for those of us who’ve walked with God for a while to remember that new believers are among us, and some of them are still struggling. 

Our worship—even the songs that we’ve sung many times—can encourage and lift them up. As we sing, we declare that there’s victory in Christ and that no one is left behind on this journey. 

Our worship becomes a testament to God’s faithfulness and power. So don’t hold back your song when we worship together. 

Sing it with joy and confidence, knowing that your praise encourages others and points them to the victory of Christ. 

It’s time to pray. 

Psalm 40:3 says, “He has put a new song in my mouth—praise to our God; many will see it and fear, and will trust in the Lord.” 

Now David didn’t write this song—God actually placed it within him. 

It wasn’t just words; it was a testimony. It was a song, an inner song that others could see. We’ve all sung different songs in our journey. There’s the song of the new believer—the joy of salvation and the awe of worshiping with others. 

But the new song that David speaks of goes beyond singing. It comes from a life that’s been transformed by the presence and power of God. It’s a testimony that draws others to Jesus Christ. 

Ask God to place His song in your heart today. Let your life reflect His goodness so that others around you may see this new song in you and learn also to trust in Him. 

Talk to God about it today. 

It’s time to pray. 

God is moving. I see it in my life, I see it in your life, and in the Church of Jesus Christ. Something bigger than we can even comprehend is unfolding—one more time, one more great awakening, one more glorious harvest before the return of Jesus Christ. 

It’s not because we’ve earned it, not because we even deserve it, but only because of His great mercy. He’s stirring hearts, reviving faith, and preparing His people for a mighty outpouring of His mercy. 

Will you be ready? Will you surrender to His call and step into what He is doing in this generation? It’s now time. 

Join with us every Wednesday night at 7 p.m. Eastern Time at itstimetopray.org, where people from all over the world are gathering together, and we’re saying, God, change us. 

Bring about the greatest awakening we’ve ever known in our lifetime.
