Prayer of Hannah

 For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him - 1 Samuel 1:27.

          Hannah prayed to God to give her a child despite her pain and hopeless situation. And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the Lord and wept in anguish - 1 Samuel 1:10. She poured out her heart to God and brought all her needs to Him. But have poured out my soul before the Lord - 1 Samuel 1:15. Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you - 1 Peter 5:7. She also made a vow that if God would give her a child, she would give back to Him.  

          Hannah was no longer sad after praying as she had much faith in the power of God. So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad - 1 Samuel 1:18. God answered the prayer of Hannah and blessed her with Samuel. For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition which I asked of Him - 1 Samuel 1: 27. Hannah fulfilled her vow by bringing Samuel to serve the Lord. Meanwhile the child Samuel grew before the Lord - 1 Samuel 2:21.   

          Hannah praised and thanked God as her prayer was answered by God. And Hannah prayed and said: “My heart rejoices in the Lord; My horn is exalted in the Lord. I smile at my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation” - 1 Samuel 2:1. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus - Philippians 4:6,7.

                                                                                      

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the Lord who answers prayer. Let us pour out our heart and cast all our burdens upon You. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
