Father God, You are El Roi, the God who sees us. You hear our prayers and see our affliction. You remember us in times of plenty and in times of need. You are faithful and true. We come to thank You for Your steadfast love. Please, forgive us where we fail You. Bring us close to sense Your presence and renew our bond. We love You, Father. We trust You in the name and authority of Jesus, according to Your good and perfect will. Amen.
“Then she made a vow and said, ‘O LORD of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.’” (1 Samuel 1:11 NKJV)
