Reference

1 Samuel 1:9-20
Not Drunk, Just Desperate

1 Samuel 1:9-20 

Hannah brings her whole desperate self to God and is misread by the institution, but God hears exactly what she's saying. Honest prayer is never wasted, even when the people around us don't understand it. Special Sunday tie-in: Not a Hallmark sermon. A real woman in real anguish, seen by a real God. For everyone whose motherhood, or longing for it, has been complicated.
