Sometimes the circumstances of life bring us to a point where we are not in a place of what we would choose or desire. We can easily feel trapped and hemmed in. Yet Psalm 16 says ‘the boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places.’ Is it possible to know God’s freedom when we find ourselves in a difficult place. John in Revelation 1, imprisoned on an island on Patmos found freedom when he found himself ‘on the Lord’s day..in the Spirit’. The Lord’s Prayer also has surprising things to teach us!
