1 Samuel 3:1-10, 19-20 During the time. y oung Samuel was minister to the LORD under Eli, a revelation of the LORD was uncommon and vision infrequent One day Eli was asleep in his usual place His eyes had lately grown so weak that he could not see. The lamp of God was not yet extinguished, and Samuel was sleeping in the temple of the LORD where the ark of God was. The LORD called to Samuel, who answered, Here I am. Samuel ran to Eli and said, Here I am. You called me. I did not call you, Eli said. Go back to sleep.So he went back to sleep Again the LORD called Samuel, who rose and went to Eli Here I am,he said. You called me. But Eli answered, I did not call you, my son. Go back to sleep.At that time Samuel was not familiar with the LORD because the LORD had not revealed anything to him as yet The LORD called Samuel again, for the third time. Getting up and going to Eli, he said, Here I am You called me. Then Eli understood that the LORD was calling the youth. So Eli said to Samuel, Go to sleep, and if you are called, reply, ˜Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening. When Samuel went to sleep in his place, the LORD came and revealed his presence, calling out as before, Samuel, Samuel . Samuel answered, Speak, for your servant is listening. Samuel grew up, and the LORD was with him, not permitting any word of his to be without effect. Thus all Israel from Dan to Beersheba came to know that Samuel was an accredited prophet of the LORD."
       Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
Mark 1:29-39 On leaving the synagogue Simon's mother-in-law lay sick with a fever. They immediately told him about her. He approached, grasped her hand, and helped her up Then the fever left her and she waited on them When it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all who were ill or possessed by demons. The whole town was gathered at the door. He cured many who were sick with various diseases, and he drove out many demons not permitting them to speak because they knew him Rising very early before dawn he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed. Simon and those who were with him pursued him and on finding him said, Everyone is looking for you.He told them, Let us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose have I come."
