Day 169 Bible Reading: 1 Kings 19, Acts 12:1-19, Psalm 136 and Proverb 17:14-15 
When people ask you, or when you ask yourself, "What are you doing here"? Usually, either people don't know or follow what you are doing, or you feel discouraged or lost your purpose of what you are doing in your life. But when God asks you this question, God knows the answer. He knows you are discouraged in your life, or relationship, or work, or ministry. He wants to encourage you, and He wants to hear your expression and release your emotional burdens to Him. He will deliver you like He did Elijah.
"There he came to a cave and lodged in it. And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and he said to him, 'What are you doing here, Elijah?'" – 1 Kings 19:9 (English Standard Version)
"Jesus Lord, I pray that you would release our brothers and sisters from any fear and memory of the past that has the power to control them. Deliver them from their problems and the plans of the enemy. Pray your presence is with them and restore what has been stolen by the enemy. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen."
