Sovereign Acts 4: 24
“When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything in them.”
They receive their first persecution, they have been arrested and held in Jail and then released, they go back to the Church and they begin to pray:
Not for help, not for peace, Not for deliverance from those who are against them, not for a better life. No they align their earth with God’s outlook of His earth. Often our prayers are negative, save me, deliver me etc but this is not that.
They addressed the Lord as Sovereign. God is more than the sum total of the things that we or others are conscious about. He is a beyond and behind God. He is above and absolute God. He is the owner and omnipotent God. He is master and mighty God. He is ruler and righteous God. He is creator and controller God. And the Sovereign Lord is in control of you.
There are times when in prayer we need to remind ourselves with who God is before we begin to talk of our needs.
Why not pray today by beginning with ‘Sovereign Lord’?
