Praise the Lord Everyone!!! 😀 Happy Friday to each of you.
Several months ago, I was extremely concerned about the welfare of someone close to me. But, one day during that time while reading and meditating on the words of God, I found encouragement in part of the Old Testament story of Samuel, who was a wise Israelite leader. As I read how Samuel interceded for God’s people as they faced trouble, I found my resolution was strengthened through prayer for my loved one.
In 1 Samuel 4 The Israelites faced the threat of the Philistines, who had previously defeated them when God’s people didn’t trust in Him. In 1 Samuel 7:8 after repenting of their sins, they heard that the Philistines were about to attack. But this time, they asked Samuel to continue praying for them.
In verse 10 you’ll find the Lord answered them clearly by throwing their enemy into confusion. Though the Philistines may have been larger than the Israelites, the Lord was the strongest of them all.
Beloved, when we ache over the challenges facing those we love, and fear the situation won’t change, we may be tempted to believe that the Lord won’t act. But we should never underestimate prayer power. Our loving God hears our prayer petitions.
Beloved, this weekend if you find yourself in a situation where you don’t know how God will move in response to your petition(s), just remember as our Heavenly Father He wants us to embrace His love and “trust” in His faithfulness.
Have a blessed weekend Everyone!!! 😀
