Day 01

Year After Year

“So year by year, when she went up to the LORD’s house, her rival provoked her. Therefore she wept, and didn’t eat.”

1 Samuel 1:7

Reflection

This is the fear that has a calendar: the same unanswered longing, arriving on schedule, worn deeper each time it comes around. Repetition makes an ache feel like a verdict.

Pray

God, I have brought this same request back to You for years and it has started to feel like a closed door. Keep me from turning Your silence into a sentence.

Amen.

Declare

A long wait is not a final answer.
