In this episode, Tola continues the reflection on Psalm 142, exploring the real-life situation that led David to write this heartfelt prayer while hiding in the cave of Adullam. She takes us back to 1 Samuel 21–22, where David was running for his life from King Saul, and draws powerful parallels to the silent struggles many nurses face today—whether in the workplace, at home, or within.
Tola reminds us that while hardship and chaos may tempt us to isolate, the key to breakthrough is found in our willingness to cry out to God. We have access to a sovereign King who hears and answers when we speak.
Key Themes:
David’s prayer in the cave came from a place of desperation, but also from faith.
Real revival and healing begin with raw, honest prayers.
Silence in the face of suffering allows the enemy to win ground—but your voice is a weapon.
Just as David shifted from despair to praise, so can you—if you first choose to speak.
God has the authority to grant your requests, but you must come forward and ask.
Scripture Focus:
Psalm 142:1–7
"I cried to you, O Lord. I said, You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living… Bring my life out of prison, that I may confess and praise Your name..."
Takeaway:
Don’t let your trouble silence you. Don’t let fear, discouragement, or shame keep you from the presence of the King. He is waiting for your voice. Tell Him everything. Cry out, and then begin to prophesy over your life just like David did.
