Day 1: God Hears You
Reading: 1 Samuel 1:9-20
Devotional: Hannah's story reminds us of a powerful truth: God hears. She named her son Samuel—"God heard me"—as a testimony to answered prayer. Perhaps you've been silent in your suffering, trying to "man up" or push through on your own strength. But God is waiting for you to ask. Your prayers carry more weight than your opinions. Your petitions move heaven more than your complaints move people. Hannah's barrenness wasn't just physical; it represented every area of lack in our lives. She didn't just wish for change—she brought her desperation to the One who could do something about it. Open your mouth. Make your requests known. God is listening, and there will come a time when He responds, "I heard you."
Reflection: What have you been carrying silently that you need to bring before God? Write out your specific requests today.

Silently I’ve been asking God to remove fear and anxiety from my daily life. I realize that doing His will comes with a cost sometimes and the enemy hates it and the attacks are coming strongly every single day.
Fear and anxiety are two very real things but just like you said above, we do have authority over them! God HEARS your cries and those cries MOVE Him! I am praying for.you to win these battles and to walk boldly and obediently in the footsteps that God has intended for you!
