“He will protect his faithful ones,

but the wicked will disappear in darkness.

No one will succeed by strength alone.

10Those who fight against the Lord will be shattered.

But I will honor those who honor me, and I will despise those who think lightly of me.

“It is the Lord’s will,” Eli replied. “Let him do what he thinks best.”

Lord God my Father,

Help me to surrender all of me to your desire. Protect me from greed and laziness. I need you to fight for me, I am too weak alone. I wish to only honor you in all ways. Have your way in me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
