When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean."

Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, 'He will command his angels concerning you,' and, 'On their hands they will bear you up, so that you don't dash your foot against...

Pour Out Your Heart

So Hannah rose up after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on his seat by the doorpost of Yahweh's temple. She was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to Yahweh, weeping bitterly. 1 Samuel 1:9'10 WEB.
Hannah poured out her heart to the Lord. She wanted a child so badly that the rest of her life seemed empty, and nothing else mattered. Her husband, Elkanah, loved her. They had a great life, but she was troubled and barren. Nothing but a child could seem to fill the hole in her heart.
Hannah prayed so hard for a son that the priest Eli thought she was drunk and insulted her. Yet, the Lord heard her prayer and granted her request. Hannah had a son the following year, and she named him "Samuel," which means "Asked of God." Hannah didn't need to have a son. Her prayer wasn't a matter of life and death. It was just a desire of her heart, something she deeply wanted.
Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4 WEB.
When it's important to you, it's important to God. Of course, that doesn't mean we will always get everything we want. Because our heavenly Father loves us, He will not grant us things that are harmful to us. Nor will He work against His own nature or His word. Listen closely, and He will let you know His answer. Put your trust, your faith, and your hope in Him.
When you need help, get somewhere quiet, and pour out your heart. God already knows, but James wrote that sometimes we don't have because we ask don't ask (James 4:2). Today is the day for that to change. Tell Him all about it, and may the Lord grant your request in the name of Jesus Christ.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, You know my heart's desire. Your word tells us to delight in You and that You will give us the desires of our hearts. I humbly pray that you grant my request. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!
Note: For those following the Creation Photography weekly challenges, group leader, Dianna Wyles: Galatians 5:13 "You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love." ~ 'Freedom of Faith' or 'Liberty to Love' will be our next exciting theme choices. Our themes are always open for creative interpretation so have fun getting creative! Show us how you celebrate summer, independence, faith, and your liberty to love one another.
