Prayer Points For The Helpless and Hopeless

Last Updated on February 22, 2021 by Pastor Ikechukwu Chinedum

Today we will be dealing with prayer points for the helpless and hopeless.

The term ‘helpless’ can be defined in different ways. Some of which are;

• Inability to defend oneself.
  To lack help, to be powerless
  Unable to act without help; needing help; feeble.
  Uncontrollable, a helpless urge
  A state in which there is no possibility of being saved.

Hopelessness can be defined as a state of being without hope,despairing, not expecting anything positive.
Giving no ground of hope; promising nothing desirable; desperate, having a hopeless cause.

Hopelessness can also be called pessimistism, that is expecting the worst.
Believers are meant to be optimistic even at the face of trails and tribulations. The bible says ‘be of good cheers because I have overcome the world’. To be hopeful in difficult situations, especially when it’s not looking like it at all is not really an easy step to take. But despite, we have to look unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith. Heb 12:2 Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

John 14:6 In Him is life and life is hope. Therefore Jesus is hope, automatically to have hope is to have Jesus.

No matter how hard it seems/look Jesus is always there to salvage the situation. He is the hope, He is the life even in a lifeless situation. To lay more emphasis on the topic before us, Ezekiel will be used as a case study.

God told Ezekiel to speak life into dead bones and they gained life back. God is able to do everything. A state of hopelessness is a very situation. The children of Isreal were once in that state. For years they were been tormented by the wicked whip of the Egyptians. The people of God became slave in a strange. They had no hope getting liberated from that bondage. Every possible means for Freedom was stopped by the Egyptians. But God who doesn’t forget his own people. He came to Moses and instructed him to go to Egypt and tell pharaoh to let the children of Isreal go.

God told Moses, I have heard the cry of people in Egypt and I have remembered by covenant. I speak concerning the life of someone today, in that situation that you have lost hope, may help arise for you today in the name of Jesus. The children of Isreal were hopeless and helpless. God knew that if help should come, their hope for Freedom will be restored. God prepared Moses for the great task and send him to Egypt. The arrival of Moses in the land of Egypt brought a light of hope on the children of Isreal. They suddenly found their lost courage as hope was restored. In every places that you least expected that help would come, may the king of heaven send help to you today in the name of Jesus.

In conclusion, no matter what we are going through, let us always have hope in God.
