David cried out to the Lord, "Why are you so downcast, O my soul?" [Psalm 139:5-6]
He felt trapped and helpless as a prisoner to his circumstances and to the limitations of his abilities to change things in his life. He had lost his hope, because David had tried with all his strength and ability but was still not seeing change.
Have you ever felt as a prisoner without hope in your life and the circumstances facing you? [Proverbs 13:12]
Did You Know... that the Truth has set you free and made you more than a Conqueror because of the Love of God that lives within you with His Divine power to overcome all battles both those in thoughts and those in the physical. [Romans 8:37-39, 2 Chronicles 20:12,15-17]
When the thoughts of your soul and mind are being taken prisoner by the enemies lies, you need to do the same as David did - speak out loud to your soul and mind the truth that comes from the Word of God about your freedom and victories over all of your difficulties.
Meditate on the good things God has done already in your life and for others, remembering He is the same yesterday and forever. Focus your thoughts on God's ability to help you rather than on your ability to help yourself. [Philippines 4:8, Hebrews 13:5-8]
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free" (Luke 4:18 NIV)

Song: Mary, Did You Know?
Group: Pentatonix
Lyrics:
Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you
Mary did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little baby, you have kissed the face of God
Mary did you know, Mary did you know, Mary did you know
The blind will see, the deaf will hear and the dead will live again
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak, the praises of the lamb
Mary did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding is the great I am
Mary did you know, Mary did you know, Mary did you know
