Hannah - Wrestling With God - 1 Samuel 1

About this episode

The episode discusses Hannah's story of desperation in prayer and God's response to our raw longings.

Have you ever prayed a prayer that felt like it might break you? Hannah knew that kind of desperation well. Her story reminds us that God isn’t intimidated by our anguish or our honesty; He meets us right in the middle of it. Like Hannah, we can bring our rawest longings before Him, trusting that even when the answer isn’t immediate, He is already at work in ways we can’t yet see.
