“And she said, “Let your servant find favor in your eyes.” Then the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.”
1 Samuel 1:18 ESV
After I read this verse I am in awe of how God gives hope to our weary souls. Pouring out our souls before the Lord empties us of the despair we can feel in our difficult situations doesn’t it? Like Hannah I went through times of sadness when parenting a strong willed child was hard and all I felt was despair. I felt the thoughts of people wondering why our child was the outsider and how we must of messed up in our parenting. I couldn’t change the situation but I could pray.
God meets us there and leaving our burden with God and truly believing Him for the outcome is where our faith is strengthened. Raising our children is kingdom work and I believe we keep fighting the good fight for our children daily giving them back to the Lord.
He is the perfect Father and will bring joy into our lives through difficult times!
My takeaways from 1 Samuel 1-2 this week are:
•faith is believing God hears my prayers
•faith is living like God has already answered me
•faith in Christ the Lord guards my heart from what others think of me
