The prayer place I am looking for,

the prayer place that the Lord is leading me to?

While Apostle Paul and Silas were going to a place of prayer,

they encountered a slave girl who was possessed by a fortune-telling spirit,

and in the name of Jesus Christ, they drove the demon out of her.

They were captured by her masters, taken to Roman officials, and ended up in prison.

They were imprisoned and prayed in prison (Acts 16:16-25).

Clearly, the place of prayer

that Apostles Paul and Silas were looking for was not a prison.

However, I think that Paul and Silas used the prison as a place of prayer,

guided by God, who in His sovereignty also uses

the guidance of those whom He wanted and did not want.

I think that the fact that we prayed with this in mind (v. 16)

is a lesson from God to each of us.

If we are currently trapped in the East, West, South, and North,

and the solution to the problem is clearly visible,

perhaps that prison-like situation may be the prayer place that the Lord wants for us.
