Summary

In The Hand of Providence, Dr. Michael Youssef boldly proclaims that even when God seems silent, He is working powerfully behind the scenes for His faithful children. Preaching from Acts 23, Dr. Youssef shows how the Lord stood by Paul in prison and protected him from a violent plot—reminding us that God's sovereignty governs every detail of our lives. The believer is never at the mercy of chance or chaos. God's providence uses even unknown people and unseen events to fulfill His purposes. But this promise is for those who have surrendered their lives to Christ. If you are living for yourself, now is the time to repent and trust in the One who alone holds your future in His hands. If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone. 🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer Teams Our trained prayer partners and pastoral care team are available to pray with you and offer Biblical support. https://ltw.org/care 💬 Receive personal answers to your faith questions—anytime, day or night—at: https://myfaithassistant.com If you’ve been blessed by this podcast, please consider a tax-deductible donation to help extend this ministry—so another person can be encouraged, prayed for, and pointed to Christ. ❤️ Support Leading The Way: https://www.ltw.org/donate
