Look at Hannah, one of the best parents in the Bible.
· Have you ever felt that God has dealt you a bad hand, that He has acted unfairly toward you?
· Have you ever been tempted to yell at God and then walk away in bitterness and frustration?
· Do you sometimes doubt that He hears you when you pray to Him?
· Do you pray once then give up hope before the answer comes?
Hannah has much to teach us about endurance and about prevailing prayer and about sacrificial love for God. Out of the crucible of her pain and heartbreak eventually came great blessing, which spread outward to many people through her son, Samuel. Hannah, this godly woman with a mother’s heart, will stand out for time and eternity as a model of selfless, sacrificial love.
