The Bible tells us about two women.
Anna and Peninnah.
Peninnah had children and Hannah had none.
They were wives of Elkanah and every year they went up to Shiloh to worship the Lord of hosts and offer him sacrifices.
Hannah received a double portion from her husband because he loved her and because the Lord had made her barren.
Her rival Peninnah mortified her to make her angry because the Lord had made her barren.
Hannah wept and stopped eating.
Her husband complained that she was sad all the time.
Hannah got up with bitterness in her soul, prayed to the Lord and wept.
And she vowed a vow, saying, O LORD of hosts, if you will look on the affliction of your handmaid, and remember me, and not forget your handmaid, and give your handmaid a male child, then I will consecrate him to the LORD all the days of his life, and the razor shall not pass over his head.
But Hannah prayed longer before the Lord,
she spoke in her heart and only moved her lips.
After all these things, Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her.
And Hannah conceived, and bore a son, and named him Samuel; for she said, “I have asked the LORD for him.
This is the story of a woman who called on the Lord in distress.
She was desperate and discouraged, but the day she decided to go to a different level with the Lord, she was heard.
So let’s not be demoralised,
Yaweh always responds to those who serve him in spirit and in truth,
to those who open their hearts to him.
Let us not think that it is all over for us.
Let us not think that this illness is a death sentence,
Let us not think that this trial has no end.
Let us go before the Lord, let us go into his presence,
Let us invoke him,
Let us call upon him,
Invoke him,
Proclaim him,
And surely he will answer us.
Psalms, 116:1 – I love the LORD, for he hears my voice and my supplications;
Psalms, 116:2 – For he has inclined his ear to me; And I will call on him all my days.
Praise the Lord because he always answers when you call upon him.
Our love for the Lord must be permanent because he is present,
he listens to us,
he comforts us,
He comforts us, he reassures us, and that’s why we go to his feet every day to recharge our batteries.
Father, blessed be your name.
We love you, Daddy.
Good morning to us
Good day to you
