Pray to The Almighty

Pastor Petzold explores Psalm 91 as a model for prayer, acknowledging common struggles: feeling inadequate, unheard, or burdened. Psalm 91 emphasizes God's power and personal care, encouraging us to bring all troubles to Him. Psalm 91, initially a soldier's prayer, metaphorically addresses life's "traps," "nightmares," and "arrows." While God may not always remove trials, He promises ultimate deliverance, like the Israelites entering the Promised Land. The sermon warns against misinterpreting Psalm 91 as a guarantee of a trouble-free life, referencing Satan's temptation of Jesus. Instead, it highlights Jesus' own prayerful reliance on God, even amidst suffering. God's "Yes" to Jesus' resurrection assures our own ultimate victory, even if we face hardship now. We're called to trust God's promises, knowing every prayer for deliverance is "Yes" in Christ.
