Examining What’s in Your Heart

Have you ever wanted to pray like Habakkuk: “God, why is evil winning?” In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains that grim times aren’t only a reason to ask God for answers—they’re an invitation to ask deeper questions of ourselves: What is God teaching me? Do I need to repent? Do I need to grow in faith?

Dr. Youssef walks through Habakkuk’s transformation—from pleading for revival and remembering God’s mighty deeds, to realizing that true revival begins with humility. God’s people needed awakening, but before restoration could come, hearts had to be humbled. The real problem wasn’t God’s absence—it was the spiritual condition of His people.

You’ll be challenged to shift your prayers from entitlement to worship, from “Fix my problems” to “Glorify Your name.” Because God responds to humility, not demands—and He loves us too much to let comfort become our highest goal.

The episode ends with Habakkuk’s powerful declaration of trust: even when there’s no visible sign of blessing, the faithful can still rejoice in the Lord.

Prayer: God, forgive me for seeking my own comfort above praise for Your name. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
