 1 Samuel 7: 7-9 (NLT)
When the Philistine rulers heard that Israel had
gathered at Mizpah, they mobilized their army and
advanced. The Israelites were badly frightened when
they learned that the Philistines were approaching.
“Don’t stop pleading with the Lord our God to save us
from the Philistines!” they begged Samuel. So Samuel
took a young lamb and offered it to the Lord as a whole
burnt offering. He pleaded with the Lord to help Israel,
and the Lord answered him.

MEMORY VERSE OF THE DAY

 Minsan, may mga ganap sa buhay na para bang gusto mo
nang sabihin na tama na, ayoko na, enough is enough. Lalo
na kung paulit-ulit ka nang umaasa at nasasaktan. Kung
baga, sawa ka ng maging sawi. Opps! Hindi lang naman sa
love life mo nasasabi yan. Mas maga-agree ka kung ico-
connect natin yan sa mga pagsubok ng buhay.

Ang mga Israelites noong panahon ni Samuel ay napaharap

din sa isang pagsubok na nagdala sa kanila sa matinding
pagkatakot, na marahil ang nais na nilang sabihin ay, STOP!
Ayaw na namin! Nagplano kasi ang mga Filisteo na digmain
ang Israel, and they mean war!

 Yes, natakot sila, pero hindi iyon nakapigil sila para mag-
pray. Ini-request nila kay Samuel na huwag hihinto sa pag-
dalangin sa Panginoon at iyon nga ang ginawa ng propeta.
Prayer ang naging pinakamalakas nilang weapon. And wait,
there’s more! Walang hintong prayer.

Si Paul ganyan din ang sinabi sa 1 Thessalonians 5:17,

“Never stop praying!” at hanggang sa panahon natin
ngayon, ganyan ang DM (Direct Message) sa atin.

Ang Tanong! Nong! Nong! Ano nga ba ang blessing ng non-

stop praying? It will give us...

 PEACE
Sa panahon na nakakaranas ng mga pagsubok
sa buhay, normal na makaranas ng mga takot at
pagkabalisa. But when we approach God through
prayers, we will experience peace. Ito yung peace
na sa gitna ng mga problema ay nakukuha natin
maging positive at magpatuloy sa buhay.

 PEACE
Paul said in Philippians 4:6-7 “Don’t worry
about anything; instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he
has done. Then you will experience God’s peace,
which exceeds anything we can understand. His
peace will guard your hearts and minds as you
live in Christ Jesus.”

 ASSURANCE
Whenever na may mga problema tayo,
bukod sa fear and everything, isa sa mga
epekto ng struggles ay yung tinatawag na
uncertainty. Yung mga tanong sa isip mo, “Ano
na mangyayari? Matatapos pa ba itong
problema na ito? may solusyon pa ba ito?” But
when we pray and pray, we will have the
assurance that God will answer our prayers.

 ASSURANCE
Paano kung walang sagot? Still, we will
have the katiyakan na He is in absolute control.
May mas magandang plano si God para sa’yo.
Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things
God works for the good of those who love
him, who[a] have been called according to his
purpose.”

 May magandang quote about prayer na
sinabi ni J. Hudson Taylor “satan may put
a wall around us, but he cannot put a roof
above us to keep us from praying” So,
never stop praying!

buhay? O ano yung pinakamabigat na naranasan
