Prayer: God To Use Every Stumbling Block As Stepping Stones

On your way to success, you will encounter many stumbling blocks. In fact, on your way to fulfilling God’s purpose for your life, you will face so much opposition.

Often, when we face opposition and encounter challenges, we may feel like giving up. We may ask ourselves if what we started is really from God. But challenges and hindrances do not mean that what we are doing is not God’s will.

John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Jesus even said, that in this world, we will have trouble. But in ALL THINGS, God works for the good of those who love him. He makes stumbling blocks to become our stepping stones. He makes our challenges to become great life lessons, for an even greater future ahead.

Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called, according to his purpose.

When the enemy comes in against us like a flood, God does not stop him, but HE raises a standard against him. When the children of Israel came out of Egypt, they encountered a red sea, blocking them from entering God’s promised land.

God did not command the Red Sea to depart from His children. But, He used the sea for good to the children of Israel. He made a way through it for them to go to the other side, and also killed their enemies in it.

Isaiah 59:19 When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.

When Jesus was left behind by his disciples on the other side of the sea, He walked on the waters. And God today is saying to you, behold, I have already given you power to walk upon and trample on snakes and scorpions.

The traps that the enemy has set up for you will lead to your elevation. You will not drown in that sea of depression. But, you will walk on it, and come out with a song. God will work out things for your good.

Prayer: Every Stumbling Block Now Just A Stepping Stone

Heavenly Father, I have encountered so many stumbling blocks in my life. At times, these obstacles have caused me to feel defeated, overwhelmed and uncertain about my future. But I know that with you, nothing is impossible.

Oh Lord, remove these stumbling blocks from my path. Instead, use them as stepping stones towards my destiny. I know that you can turn any obstacle into an opportunity for growth and advancement.

Bless me with your guidance and wisdom as I navigate through these challenges, and grant me a potion of your strength to overcome them.

My Lord, I receive this power to make wise choices that will lead to my financial breakthrough. I receive power to be awarded with greater opportunities that will bring wealth and good connections.

My God, these stumbling blocks are not just physical or tangible, but also mental and emotional. I ask for your healing and comfort in the areas of my life that has been affected. Renew my mind and empower me to think positively, to have faith and to trust in your plan for my life.

These constant arguments in our marriage, Lord, You said you will work them out for the good of our marriage. We will come out of misunderstandings with deeper love and a song of praise.

I praise you and thank you for your guidance and protection. I trust in your plan for my life and I know that with you by my side, I can and will overcome any and every stumbling block that comes my way. In Jesus’ mighty name I pray, Amen.

Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
