This episode continues our quest to learn about The Vitality of Prayer. Grab your Bible, a pen, and some paper and join me as we look at how Hannah prayed for her "great concern and provocation" and ini her joy in 1 Samuel 1 and 2. Hannah is a woman distressed because she does not have a child. Her husband has another wife who has been able to give him children. This woman would provoke Hannah "bitterly" because of her lack of children. What can we learn about prayer from this? 1. We can pray to God in our distress and in our joy. 2. God hears us even if no one else knows you're praying. 3. Trusting in God is the answer to every question and concern you may have. 4. Reverence isn't only found in prayers that speak only praise to God. Similar to Moses' prayer for Miriam in episode 403, Hannah's prayer shows us we can cry out to God in our dismay over a terrible situation. Prayer doesn't have to be complicated. When we get what we asked for, but at a time later than we expected, it is still a sign God heard and answered. Don't hesitate to pray for the things that you want. Don't hesitate to take the events that pain you to the Lord.. Your job is to ask and trust. Go back and check out Episode 401 to learn more about how Jesus taught to approach God in prayer.
