before we pray let's listen to God's word and then we'll pray together let's reflect on Hannah's Prayer from 1st Samuel chapter 2 in verses 1 to3 Hannah begins her prayer with these beautiful words my heart rejoices in the Lord in the Lord my horn is lifted High my mouth boasts over my enemies for I Delight in your deliverance there is no one holy like the Lord there is no one besides you there is no Rock like our God do not keep talking so proudly or let your mouth speak such arrogance for the Lord is a
God who knows and by him Deeds are weighed Hannah's heart overflows with joy not because her life was free of pain but because she had experienced the Lord's Deliverance her prayer begins with Thanksgiving and worship acknowledging that it is God who lifts her up strengthens her and brings her Victory she boldly declares that no one is as holy as faithful or as steadfast as God he is her Rock her unshakable foundation her words challenge us to reflect on our own lives what does your heart rejoice in where do you turn for strength and comfort too
often we may look to Temporary things achievements relationships or possessions only to find they cannot satisfy the deepest longings of our soul Hannah's Prayer continues in verses 6 to1 where it says the Lord brings death and makes alive he brings down to the grave and raises up the Lord sends poverty and wealth he humbles and he exalts he raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash Heap he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of Honor for the foundations of the Earth are the Lords on them he
has set the world he will guard the feet of his Faithful Servants but the wicked will be silenced in the place of Darkness it is not by strength that one prevails those who oppose the Lord will be broken the most high will Thunder From Heaven the Lord will judge the ends of the Earth he will give strength to his King and exalt the Horn of his anointed in these verses Hannah magnifies God as the supreme ruler over all things he is the giver and taker of life the one who lifts up the humble and brings
down the proud she beautifully illustrates how God transforms the lives of the poor and needy raising them from the dust and seating them with princes this reminds us of his deep compassion and his power to change our circumstances in ways that we cannot even imagine yet she also speaks of God's justice showing that those who oppose him will not Prevail this is a sobering reminder that our strength no matter how great we think it is is never enough without him Hannah's Prayer calls each of us to examine our hearts and motives are you rejoicing in
the Lord and trusting him completely or are you seeking Solutions elsewhere her prayer shows us the depth of faith and humility required to walk closely with God it reminds us that he is both the loving savior who lifts Us From the Ashes and the righteous judge who weighs every deed this balance of God's love and Justice should Inspire us to live lives that honor him relying fully on his grace and guidance today I want to encourage you to lift your voice in prayer trusting God to stand by you deliver you and fill your heart with
his steadfast love now let us pray together Lord Jesus there is no one holy like you no one as perfect as pure as righteous you are set apart Lord above all creation reigning in majesty and Splendor there is no one else besides you who can save no one who can redeem no one who can restore you alone Are My Hope my refuge and my strength truly there is no Rock like you my Lord no Foundation as firm no place as secure You Are My unshakable Shelter my Everlasting Fortress and I take comfort in the knowledge

you Lord my heart my soul my mind and my body I submit myself fully to you confessing that I need you every moment of every day your word assures me in Psalm 37:2 I have never seen the righteous forsaken nor his descendants begging bread father you are faithful you are the God who never leaves nor forsakes those who trust in you my prayer today is that you would stand by me in every season of my life Stand By Me When Storms rage and the Winds of Doubt try to shake me stand by me when I
walk through the valleys of life when I feel surrounded by darkness and fear Let Your Rod and staff Comfort Me Lord as you lead me to Safety Stand By Me Lord Jesus even in the fiery furnaces of this life when I feel trapped when I cannot see a way out remind me that you are the God who makes a way where there seems to be no way your word promises that when the enemy comes in like a flood you will raise up a standard against him and so I declare in faith that no Giant in
my life will defeat me no problem will overwhelm me because you my deliverer are fighting for me Lord I Thank you for your mercy and faithfulness when the odds are stacked against me when I feel like I'm standing in the Lion's Den I will choose to Delight in your deliverance you are a God who rescues a God who defends a God who never abandons his children thank you for always standing by me even when I feel unworthy thank you for your grace that sustains Me For Your Love That Never Fails your word reminds me Lord
