1 Samuel 3:4-5 Then the Lord called Samuel. Samuel answered, “Here I am.” And he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” But Eli said, “I did not call; go back and lie down.” So he went and lay down. 
When the Lord calls me, am I quick to seek Him and listen? Or, do I serve people first, failing to put God above all else?

Luke 11:2 He said to them, “When you pray, say …your kingdom come.”
Am I wanting MY kingdom to come or His? Father, may my priority be Your kingdom!

1 Samuel 2:29 Why do you scorn my sacrifice and offering that I prescribed for my dwelling? Why do you honor your sons more than me by fattening yourselves on the choice parts of every offering made by my people Israel?’ 
Do I honor myself, my family, or anything above God? Lord, may I always keep You as my number one priority.

Luke 11:2 He said to them, “When you pray, say: “ ‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.”
One of the starting places for prayer is praising God, recognizing that He is Lord, not me.  

1 Samuel 1:10 In her deep anguish Hannah prayed to the Lord, weeping bitterly. 
In my deep anguish, do I pray to the Lord, or do I simply become bitter?

Luke 11:2 He said to them, “When you pray, say: “ ‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.”
Prayer begins in the context of relationship. Unless I view God as my Father my prayer will be jaded. 

Revelation 22:20 He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. 
AMEN!

Luke 11:1 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
This disciple actually prayed about his praying. He asked Jesus to help him pray more effectively. May I pray such prayers!

Revelation 21:4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” 
There will come a day with no more suffering…physical or emotional. Lord, come quickly!

Luke 10:42 “Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
Spending time at the feet of Jesus is a choice; not just between good and bad but between good and “better.”
