Reading: Psalm 69:13-18

Father God,
favor me.
Show up in your perfect timing.
I need you now.
I need you always.
You know best.
Teach me patience and grant me peace.
Answer me with your sure salvation.
Amen.

As Saul turned to leave Samuel,
God changed Saul’s heart,
and all these signs were fulfilled that day.
When he and his servant arrived at Gibeah,
a procession of prophets met him;
the Spirit of God came powerfully upon him,
and he joined in their prophesying.
When all those who had formerly known him
saw him prophesying with the prophets,
they asked each other,
“What is this that has happened to the son of Kish?
Is Saul also among the prophets?”
(1 Samuel 10:9-11)*
