STRONG: The Lord makes you strong - 1 Samuel 2:4

“The bows of strong soldiers are broken, but the weak grow strong." 1 Samuel 2:4

Praise & Prayer:
Almighty Father, I believe with all my heart that You have the power to topple the giants in my life who seem insurmountable. I place my trust in You, my Rock and the God of my salvation. Teach me, Holy Spirit, that the grace of my Lord Jesus is enough for me. Help me to remain strong in the Lord amid my weaknesses, hardships, persecutions, or difficulties for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for breaking the bows of the devil and his demon soldiers at the cross of Calvary. Please use me today to strengthen the faith and hope of family members or friends who feel weak by leading them to You. I pray in Your mighty name, my Lord and Savior.

Living Truth:
So to keep me [Paul] from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me. That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:7-10

RESCUED: The Lord comes to your rescue - 1 Samuel 2:1

Then Hannah prayed: “My heart rejoices in the Lord! The Lord has made me strong. Now I have an answer for my enemies; I rejoice because You rescued me.” ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬ ‭

Praise & Prayer:
Like Hannah, my heart rejoices in You, Sovereign God. I praise You for Jesus Christ, who laid down His life to rescue me from my enemies and from the wages of sin and eternal death. I put my hope and trust in You, Lord Jesus, my Rescuer. May my life be a compelling testimony to Your rescuing power to someone troubled by demonic oppression that has led them to feel hopeless. Please come to their rescue as we pray for help in Your mighty name. Amen.

BELONG: You belong to the LORD - 1 Samuel 1:28

“Sir, do you remember me?” Hannah asked. “I am the very woman who stood here several years ago praying to the Lord. I asked the Lord to give me this boy, and He has granted my request. Now I am giving him to the Lord, and he will belong to the Lord his whole life.” And they worshiped the Lord there. 1 Samuel 1:26-28

Prayer & Worship:
As Hannah, I recognize, Sovereign LORD, that my family, children, life, and all that I have belong to You. I praise You, Lord Jesus, for giving me the understanding that God is the creator and owner of all things. For in Him we live and move and have our being. We are His offspring and were created for His glory. Heavenly Father, I entrust my children and grandchildren into Your everlasting arms and ask You to draw their hearts to faith and to surrender to Christ Jesus. I make this request in His mighty name.

Eternal Truth:

• "God, for whom and through whom everything was made, chose to bring many children into glory. And it was only right that he should make Jesus, through His suffering, a Perfect Leader, fit to bring them into their salvation." Hebrews 2:10-11
• "But now, O LORD, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are the potter; we are all the work of Your hand." Isaiah 64:8
• "For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together." Colossians 1:16-17

PRAY: Keep on praying to the LORD who hears your requests - 1 Samuel 1:12

As she [Hannah] kept on praying to the Lord, Eli observed her mouth. Hannah was praying in her heart, and her lips were moving, but her voice was not heard. Eli thought she was drunk and said to her, “How long are you going to stay drunk? Put away your wine.” “Not so, my lord,” Hannah replied, “I am a woman who is deeply troubled. I have not been drinking wine or beer; I was pouring out my soul to the Lord. Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; I have been praying here out of my great anguish and grief.” 1 Samuel 1:12-16

Prayer & Praise:
With God, all things are possible. I am learning, Heavenly Father, not to worry about anything but to pray about everything. Like Hannah, I open my heart and approach You with gratitude, praising You for constantly hearing my requests and cries for help. Stir me, Holy Spirit, to pray without ceasing for family members or friends facing severe health issues or unexpected loss. Use my care and compassion to strengthen their faith in God and to point them to Jesus Christ. I pray, Lord God, in the mighty name of Christ our Savior. 

REMEMBERED: The Lord remembers you - 1 Samuel 1:11

Once when they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh, Hannah stood up. Now Eli the priest was sitting on his chair by the doorpost of the Lord’s house. In her deep anguish, Hannah prayed to the Lord, weeping bitterly. And she made a vow, saying, “Lord Almighty, if you will only look on Your servant’s misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the Lord for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head.” 1 Samuel 1:9-11

Prayer:
Like Hannah, I come before Your holy presence, Lord Almighty, with my worries and concerns, knowing You look down on Your servant and remember me in my troubles. When the voices of doubt from the devil are whispered in my ears, remember me, Lord Jesus, and help me to immediately turn to our Heavenly Father, who hears the cries of His children as He did for Hannah. Holy Spirit, please guide someone across my path today who is in deep anguish. Use me to rekindle their faith in God, and help me be an instrument of hope by listening to them and praying with them for salvation in Jesus' mighty name.

Living Truth:

• One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!” But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment? We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!” And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” Luke 23:39-43 
• "Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion, for they are from age to age. Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my rebellious acts; remember me according to Your loving devotion, because of Your goodness, O LORD." Psalm 25:6-7

HOLY: Be holy [set apart] to the LORD - Zechariah 14:20

On that day "Holy to the LORD" will be written on the bells of the horses. And the cooking pots in the house of the LORD will be like the bowls in front of the altar. Zechariah 14:20

Prayer:
Make me holy, Heavenly Father. Take my life and let it be, consecrated LORD to Thee. As the bells of the horses in Zechariah's day had written "HOLY TO THE LORD", please inscribe upon my heart "HOLY TO THE LORD JESUS." Sanctify me, Holy Spirit, as a clean cooking pot and a useful bowl for God's glory. Fill me with a love for holiness so I can be a pure vessel that pours out the truth, love, and mercy of Christ, and leads sinners to faith in our Wonderful Savior. I pray in Jesus' mighty name.

Living Truth:

• "But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do, for it is written: “BE HOLY, BECAUSE I AM HOLY.” 1 Peter 1:15-16
• "For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness." 1 Thessalonians 4:7

KING: The LORD is your KING - Zechariah 14:9

"And the LORD shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall there be One LORD, and His name One." Zechariah 14:9

Prayer:
I declare, Abba Father, the truth of this holy scripture that Jesus Christ is King over heaven and all the earth. I wholeheartedly submit to Your authority, Lord Jesus, and ask You to reign over my life, home, and circumstances. I look forward to the day when You, the One LORD, returns to rule with love, justice, and righteousness. Teach me this day, Holy Spirit, to align my life with the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God, so I may manifest that Christ is King in me. In His mighty name, I pray.
