A Lesson In Prayer From Hannah

A Lesson In Prayer From Hannah

Do you remember the story of Hannah, the mother of Samuel? She prayed for a son at the temple in Shiloh and promised to give him to the service of the Lord. While praying, we read that “Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard” (1 Samuel 1:13). This prayer reminds me of a quote by Puritan preacher John Bunyan who said, “In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.” Friend, take your burden to the Lord today. Pray with all your heart, even if words are hard to come by. God is sure to hear and be near. Now that’s something to pray about!
