Sunday, June 1 — Acts 16:16-34; Psalm 97
Revelation 22:12-14,16-17,20-21; John 17:20-26
Hanna made a vow, saying, “Lord Almighty, if you will only look on your servant’s misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the Lord for all the days of his life.” 1 Samuel 1:11 NIV
Now the time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son. Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown his great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her. Luke 1:57-58
Lord almighty, please look upon us, your servants, in our need and remember us. Shower us with your great mercy and grant us the desires of our hearts. May we, like Hanna and Elizabeth, give back to you all the days of our lives. Amen.
