The Story of Hannah & Samuel

PASSAGE
1 Samuel 1:3-7
We all know what it’s like to chase something we think will finally make us whole—success, affirmation, control—only to find the ache still there. Hannah lived in that gap: honored by her husband yet carrying a pain no amount of love or status could fix. Her story names what we often feel but rarely say out loud: nothing in this world can satisfy the deepest desires of the heart. In her anguish, she turns to the only One who can—crying out to the Lord who sees, hears, and remembers her.
Tune in as we follow her journey from sorrow to surrender and watch God turn her offering into Samuel—a prophet, priest, judge, and king-maker shaped for God’s purposes (1 Samuel 1; 1 Samuel 16). This week calls us to bring our longings honestly to God, trust His timing, and dedicate the next generation with open hands, believing He can do more with their lives than we ever could.
