Poured Out in Prayer

The Christmas Story focuses on Mary and Joseph as the Lord raises up the humble.

History of women in the Bible miraculously blessed in motherhood.

Hannah who humbled herself before the Lord.

Tormented by a perplexing, ongoing situation.
One of two women married to Elkanah.
Polygamy practiced.

Hannah persisted in prayer - year after year.
She poured out her heart to the Lord.
Have you ever poured out your soul in prayer to the Lord.
She longed for children, she saw them as a gift from the Lord - unlike many today.

Was Hannah bargaining with God?

See how the Lord provided for Hannah.

Hannah's response one of exaltation and praise.

We can pour out our soul to the Lord because the Lord has poured out His life for us.
