As she continued praying before the LORD, Eli observed her mouth. Hannah was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved and her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli took her to be a drunken woman. And Eli said to her, “How long will you go on being drunk? Put your wine away from you.”
1 Samuel 1:12-14
Lord Jesus, I am sold out today. My heart is laid bare before You. Whatever You desire me to do I will do it! Give me the Holy Spirit inspired boldness to say what You tell me to say and to do what You direct me to do despite how it will be viewed or received! Make me oblivious to the consequences of my Christ inspired actions! Empower me to move forward with Spirit-filled zeal according to my divine inspired assignment! I recognize that many who don’t know You will see me and my service to You and think that there is something wrong with me. They will hear the words coming out of my mouth and think that I am crazy. They will see my actions and be compelled to commit me. Let that not be a deterrent from me yielding to Your unctions and being used by You this day. Help me to get past who is in my presence, their status or stature in life, or what others might think about what I am doing, and just do as I have been directed! Give me a heart that is focused on serving and pleasing You alone. My sole aim in this life is to glorify You in all I say and do. Use me, Lord, to that end that Your Name might be praised and exalted forever! Amen!
