💁🏻 From Bitterness to Blessing – Hannah’s Prayer
Hannah was a woman who deeply longed for a child, but she could not have one. In her pain, she was often hurt by Peninnah, the other wife, who mocked her again and again. This made Hannah very sad, and she wept before the Lord. But instead of turning away from God, Hannah ran to Him in prayer. She poured out her heart honestly, trusting that God sees and hears. In time, God answered her prayer and gave her a son, Samuel. Hannah’s story teaches us that God can take our deepest pain and turn it into a beautiful testimony of His grace.
