TOPIC: OVERCOMING INTERNAL BATTLES

TEXT: "I...have poured out my soul before the LORD" ( 1 Samuel 1:15)

Satan loves to distract us with critism, and he tries to get us to use it on others as well as ourselves. We judge prematurely and try to correct others before we know what they are saying. That's what Eli the priest did when Hannah was crying out to God. He interrupted her prayer and accused her of being drunk (1Samuel 1:12-14).
But God let us pour out our hearts to Him in full honesty (Psalm 62:8). The book of Psalms is full of the story and the prayers of a man that's fighting both internal and external battles. Regardless of what David went through he always knew what to do to overcome such battles--Pouring his soul to the Lord in prayers. In fact, the Psalms indicate that it is when David expressed his doubts and fears that God resolves them. Many psalms that begin in despair end in praise (22:42; 60;69;73).
When a battle is raging inside, pour out your soul before the Lord (1 Samuel 1:15). He can make sense of what seems senseless.
Pouring out your soul to God might not make God see things as we see them but instead it makes us see things the way God sees them.

ACTION PLAN FOR TODAY
Hand over your life struggles to God in prayer and leave them with Him. He knows how best to resolve them.

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE FOR TODAY

" 'Lucky breaks' are
nothing more than unexpected rewards for intelligent choices we've chosen to make. Success doesn't just happen because someone's stars line up. Success, in business and personally, is something that's consciously created"
