Pour Out Your Heart

Posted by Dion Todd September 29th, 2021 4,765 Views 0 Comments

So Hannah rose up after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on his seat by the doorpost of Yahweh's temple. She was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to Yahweh, weeping bitterly. 1 Samuel 1:9'10 WEB.

Hannah poured out her heart to the Lord. She wanted a child so badly that the rest of her life seemed empty, and nothing else mattered. Her husband Elkanah loved her. They had a great life, but she was troubled and barren. Nothing but a child could seem to fill the hole in her heart.

Hannah prayed so hard for a son that the priest Eli thought she was drunk and insulted her. Yet, the Lord heard her prayer and granted her request. Hannah had a son the following year, and she named him "Samuel," which means "Asked of God." Hannah didn't need to have a son. Her prayer wasn't a matter of life and death. It was just a desire of her heart, something she deeply wanted.

Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4 WEB.

When it's important to you, it's important to God. Of course, that doesn't mean we will always get everything we want. Because our heavenly Father loves us, He will not grant us things that are harmful to us. Nor will He work against His own nature or His word. Listen closely, and He will let you know His answer. Put your trust, your faith, and your hope in Him.

When you need help, get somewhere quiet, and pour out your heart. God already knows, but James wrote that sometimes we don't have because we ask don't ask (James 4:2). Today is the day for that to change. Tell Him all about it, and may the Lord grant your request in the name of Jesus Christ.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, You know my heart's desire. Your word tells us to delight in You and that You will give us the desires of our heart. I humbly pray that you grant my request. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

Note: 'Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God.' (Philippians 4:6-7) ~ If you have a prayer need, we are here for you! We and the prayer team are ready to lift you up at our private prayer page: RHM Prayer Network

Update .536: I added a new theme customization button to the top bar that allows you to tweak the colors and layout of the site! I also created some basic color choices with: Light, Dark, The Blues, Rose, Emerald, and Deep Purple. You can also change the look of the side bar or make it disappear altogether. 😱 There is a "Reset" button at the bottom to switch back to the default, so you cannot mess it up!

It's not that I am really smart. The Lord just makes it look that way. He always has, except when I begin to think it's me, and He makes me look really dumb as a reminder. However, I am called to do this, and the Lord equips those He calls to do whatever is needed. 😀
