This week's study serves, not only as an introduction to 1 Samuel, but to Hannah's humble and desperate prayer to God regarding her infertility. This led Hannah to a life-changing encounter with the Lord. We, too, can approach God and share our deepest frustrations and heartfelt desires because we can trust Him with the outcome. We can also turn our prayers to God toward the needs of others who are facing challenging situations.
