1 Samuel 8:7 And the Lord told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king. 
Lord, may I never reject You as my king.

Luke 11:11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?”
My problem is that sometimes I ask for a snake and don’t realize it. Help me to pray better, Lord. 

1 Samuel 7:13 So the Philistines were subdued and they stopped invading Israel’s territory. Throughout Samuel’s lifetime, the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines. 
When we obey the Lord, He will keep our enemies at bay if we ask Him. Father, please subdue my enemies, so that I may live and seek Your will. Amen.

Luke 11:9 So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
God acts in response to our prayers. Teach me to pray, dear Lord!

1 Samuel 6:19 But God struck down some of the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh, putting seventy of them to death because they looked into the ark of the Lord. The people mourned because of the heavy blow the Lord had dealt them. 
When we do not obey God, we will experience heavy mourning.

Luke 11:4 And lead us not into temptation. 
Protect me from the world, the flesh, and the devil, O Lord. 

1 Samuel 5:2-4 Then they carried the ark into Dagon’s temple and set it beside Dagon. When the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! They took Dagon and put him back in his place. But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! His head and hands had been broken off and were lying on the threshold; only his body remained. 
There is no God like our God. Even the false idols of men worship Him!

Luke 11:4 Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.
Vertical forgiveness and horizontal forgiveness are somehow connected. Father, give me the grace to do both. 

1 Samuel 4:6-7 Hearing the uproar, the Philistines asked, “What’s all this shouting in the Hebrew camp?” When they learned that the ark of the Lord had come into the camp, the Philistines were afraid. “A god has come into the camp,” they said. “Oh no! Nothing like this has happened before. 
Our almighty God is capable of things that have never happened before. Lord, may I never underestimate You!

Luke 11:3 Give us each day our daily bread.
God’s provisions are daily, not monthly. May I be patient to trust Him for them.
