People who are always pointing fingers rarely hold out their hands

1 Samuel 1:15. And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I poured out my soul before Jehovah.

People who are always pointing fingers rarely hold out their hands

I was talking to Zion today and she said why people are always critical and negative. And I read in my daily devotion today about the same in 1 Samuel 1:15
Satan loves to distract us with criticism, and he tries to get us to use it on others as well as ourselves. We judge prematurely and try to correct others before we know what they’re saying. That’s what Eli the priest did when Hannah was crying out to God. He interrupted her prayer and accused her of being drunk (1 Samuel 1:12-14).

But God lets us pour out our hearts to Him in full honesty (Psalm 62:8). In fact, the Psalms indicate that it is when we are expressing our doubts and fears that God resolves them. Many Psalms that begin in despair end in praise (22; 42, 60, 69, 73)
Listen dear friends when a battle is raging inside, pour out your soul before the Lord ( 1 Samuel 1:15). He can make sense out of what seems senseless
Remember today that prayer does not make God see things as we see them; it helps us see things as God sees them.
