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.
