Today’s Verse:
"The bows of the warriors are broken, but those who stumbled are armed with strength." - 1 Samuel 2:4

Prayer for Today :

Heavenly Father,

At the beginning of 1 Samuel, Hannah was married to Elkanah but couldn't bare children. Later, Father remembered her and she conceived and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, "Because I asked the LORD for him." Then, she rejoiced and prayed to the Lord. (1 Samuel 1)

In her prayers she said "The bows of the warriors are broken, but those who stumbled are armed with strength.", with "bows" meaning the strength of which the warriors boasted and "stumbled" meaning the weak or feeble in body and spirit. Father, if we boost about what we have, You will weaken our power. Likewise, Father, You will strengthen the weak if they are obedient to You.

Father, if we were poor, we will be content, and make up our minds to our condition. Father, if we were rich, we will be thankful, and serve You cheerfully, and do good with the abundance You gives us.

Father, no matter what our circumstances are, allow us to serve You with a humble heart.

In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
