Hannah's Prayer

In the book of 1 Samuel, the story of Hannah is told in the first two chapters. Hannah was barren, not carrying children, but she wanted a child terribly bad. One day, when Hannah was very upset and down about not having children, she cried out to God. She asked Him to give her a child. Along with her cries, she promised God that she would dedicate the child's life to God, and the child's life would always be in honor and praise of God and the work He did in Hannah's life. After being with her husband, Hannah's prayer was answered, and God gave her a child, Samuel. Hannah rejoiced and was merry because she had trusted God, and He answered her prayer because of her faith.

If we will leave our burdens with God, we can find peace within Him. Hannah had a burden, she told it to God, and in turn, He answered her cries. God is the answer to all prayer. There is not a prayer, too small or too big, that God cannot handle. Hand your burdens to God, let Him take care of them. Prayer is not for the weak, it's for the strong. Faith in God takes strength. Faith takes patience, trust, and believing that God will work in your life. Find the strength to hand your burdens over to God. Let Him take care of your worries, and He will do wondrous things.
