Hey, thanks for joining us today on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope.

We are so glad that you found us today.

I've got a question for you.

Are you feeling stuck?

Like maybe you've hit a wall and just nothing's moving forward.

Well, you're not alone and you're not without hope.

You know, the Bible is full of people who faced impossible situations,

like Mary, Noah, Job, even the Apostle Paul,

and they all experienced one thing that changed everything,

a breakthrough from God.

So today, Pastor Rick continues his series called Seeking God

for a Breakthrough. Rick's going to walk us through biblical accounts of faith, prayer, and perseverance,

reminding us that God still moves in powerful ways. Whether you're in a season of waiting or searching for hope,

this series offers encouragement and biblical truth to help you keep going and get the

breakthrough you need. And now let's get to Rick with part one of a message called

praying and fasting for a breakthrough.

This week I saw posted on my Facebook site this note.

Nothing in my life seems to be working right now.

I'm lonely, I'm broke, I'm out of work, I'm a minority, and every door I knock on seems to close before me.

Pastor Rick, I feel like I've been headed down a blind alley and I've reached a dead end

in my work and with my girlfriend, can you help me? Does God even care? I really need a breakthrough.

It was that last phrase that caught my attention and actually helped me decide what I was going to teach on this weekend.
