Biblical Prayer Focus:
I Samuel 1:25-28a Then they slaughtered the bull, and they brought the child to Eli. And she said, “Oh, my lord! As you live, my lord, I am the woman who was standing here in your presence, praying to the LORD. For this child I prayed, and the LORD has granted me my petition that I made to him. Therefore I have lent him to the LORD. As long as he lives, he is lent to the LORD.”

Give thanks for the children in your life and re-dedicate them to the LORD. Ask that they would truly serve the Lord their entire lives. If you or a friend is struggling with infertility, share with God your heartache. Ask Him to give you the desire of your heart or to change that desire to match His. You may also want to call the elders to anoint you and pray for you.
