1 Samuel Chapter 1

I guess this first chapter is all about Hannah. More specifically about about the power of prayer and Hannah's faith. Hannah is unable to to have a child and so she prays a prayer to the Lord in her despair and promises to give any son she would bear to God. She is then blessed with a son who she names Samuel.
Personally I found this passage very encouraging. It for me is all about God knowing the faith of Hannah and listening to her prayers. The power of prayer is great and God always listens to us. While his answers may not always be what we want, he listens and cares about us. I need to remember to talk to God not just when things are hard and I need something but also when things are great and I should be thanking him for this.
