In all things, He is enough.DAILY SCRIPTURE & PRAYER POINTS FOR TODAY. I didn’t have the answers or know the outcome, but I did know this. Is something missing in your life today? Are you feeling unworthy, or are you fed up with daily frustrations? Lamentations 3:24 says, “The Lord is my portion.” On the day of my heart surgery, I learned what this means in a real, tangible way. His comforting presence will be our portion when enough is enough. When we’ve had enough and we’re tempted to soothe our spirits with short-term comforts, let’s put down the remote and go straight to God in prayer. Let’s take a lesson from Hannah’s commitment. She traded discouraging thoughts for triumph.

Instead of staying downhearted, she became hopeful. Hannah’s resolve to trust in God changed her entire outlook. “And she 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, and no razor will ever be used on his head,’” ( 1 Samuel 1:11 NIV). Your journey can become just the inspiration someone else needs. How we handle difficulties can encourage others and draw His children closer to Him. Sometimes He doesn’t take the pain away, but instead comforts us through it. Whatever the desire, let’s remember this truth: God knows more about what we need than we do. We may seek answers, like I did when my heart problem returned. It could be one of life’s basic needs, like money to pay bills or food in the pantry. We may even wonder why God isn’t providing the way we think He should. There will be times when we don’t have enough. 1 Samuel 1:8 describes her as “downhearted.” Something was missing from her life, and her husband Elkanah did everything he could to console her, even giving her a double portion. Hannah wanted a child more than anything. “But to Hannah he gave a double portion because he loved her, and the Lord had closed her womb,” ( 1 Samuel 1:5). God is my portion when I don’t have enough. We can learn what it means when God is our portion. From her story, we too can discover a deeper trust in the One who is above all, even in the scariest times. We all learn our greatest lessons by trusting God through difficult times, and Hannah was no exception.

Hannah knew what it meant to live with God as her portion, but not at first. BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY: “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever,” ( Psalm 73:26).
