Testimony of God Behind Bars

This friend started bugging me to go to God Behind Bars church. I was like, "I know I'm not going to go. I don't want anything to do with any of that" but she kept pushing and kept pushing. Finally, I was like "Okay just so that you'll shut up I'll go."

Everything goes dark and the praise and worship start and then I just started to bawl, and I didn't even know why I was bawling. I just had completely lost it. It was this moment of… I had never felt the presence of God as I did that night. And that was the moment when I knew that God came. I didn't have to go to Him. He came to me and He basically said "You were my daughter and I love you and that's never going to change.”

When bad things happen, some deny God’s compassion: “Even if I pray, it won’t change a thing.” Others diminish God’s sovereignty, demanding answers: “Why, O Lord? You owe me an explanation.” The prophet Habakkuk, however, humbly approaches the Lord as both loving and sovereign even though he cannot understand God’s ways.

The Prophet’s Passionate Prayer (Habakkuk 1:2-4)

“O LORD,” the prophet cries (v. 2a). The covenant name, Yahweh, reminds God’s people of his eternal promises. Habakkuk is a man of prayer who often speaks with his God. Yet the Lord seems shockingly silent. So, the prophet asks four questions—each a different way of wondering: “God, where are you when I need you?”
