JEHOVAH, OUR HEALER (3)

“Elkanah had two wives, Hannah and Peninnah.Peninnah had children, but Hannah did not. So Peninnah would taunt Hannah and make fun of her because the lord had kept her from having children…Each time, Hannah would be reduced to tears and would not even eat. Once after a sacrificial meal at Shiloh, Hannah got up and went to pray. Hannah was in deep anguish, crying bitterly as she prayed to the Lord…the Lord remembered her plea, and in due time she gave birth to a son.” (1 Samuel 1:2–20, NLT)

What is it in your life that is making people to taunt you? Have you been married for years without a child? Do you cry once every month? Who is the cry addressed to– yourself (self–pity) or to God our Healer? No one else has the solution. The doctors care but only God heals. God may or may not use them.

The prayer of Hannah works! I and many others I have shared it with, are living witnesses of the power of God through this prayer. Hannah prayed in anguish and went away with joy, believing God. The Lord answered her plea.

ACTION: Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand.

PRAYER: Father God, I pray that you remove every reproach of my life that is bringing shame to your holy name. I pray for all who have not yet received the fruit of the womb, show them your mercy and miracle–working power. Thank you, Lord, for all you have done!
