Daily Devotions: Prayer in Times of Trouble - January 16, 2026

Genesis 32:9–12 In today’s Daily Devotions, we look at Jacob’s prayer during one of the most dangerous moments of his life. As he prepares to face his brother Esau, Jacob turns to God with a powerful, four-part prayer that gives us a clear pattern for praying when trouble surrounds us. From Genesis 32, we learn how Jacob approached God in obedience, reminded Him of His promises, humbled himself before the Lord, expressed gratitude, and then boldly presented his request for protection. This prayer shows us how to stand on God’s word even when fear is real and the outcome feels uncertain. If you are facing a difficult situation today, let this devotional will encourage you to pray with faith, humility, and confidence in God’s promises. Join us Pastor Sumrall daily as we learn how prayer can bring peace, direction, and deliverance in times of trouble. Join Pastor Sumrall at Cathedral of Praise for Daily Devotions, and let Scripture inspire you to walk faithfully, trust God’s guidance, and impact the world through obedience. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E.
