Checking into God's Presence... "And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the Lord. "Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto." 1 Samuel 1:15-16 Our Father in heaven; we thank You for the gift of life presented to us in the form of a new day. As Children of Yours, we are naturally bound to open our mouths to pray unto You; some joyfully and others with sorrow in their hearts: We beseech You to take interest in our affairs. Let the thoughts of our hearts and the words coming from our mouths be seen as supplications and not as words coming from a drunkard and or someone being possessed by the evil spirit. Like Hannah in Shiloh, as we pour out the contents of our hearts before Thee Lord; remove every stigma of sins and do not count our petition as vain before You. Instead, create in us a new heart and make our prayers to come up unto Thee through the Blood of the Lamb. Cast off any garment of shame, take away our reproach, make us victorious, heal and clothe us with honour, joy, peace, knowledge, wisdom and understanding. Unto Hannah in Shiloh Eli made this pronouncements- "Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him"-1 Samuel 1:17. Father through Your mercy and because of Your name: make such declarations upon our lives today. With Your mercy grant that we receive answers to our petitions from You today in the Name of Christ. Amen Just Checking into His Presence
