Prayer is as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago. In Hannah’s story, she came before God with raw honesty, broken, anxious, and longing for breakthrough.
That same kind of prayer still meets us in our modern lives. Maybe it’s the late night prayer when no one else knows what we’re carrying, the whispered prayer for clarity in a decision, or the desperate prayer for healing or provision.
Hannah shows us that prayer is not about polished words it’s about bringing our truest selves before God and trusting Him with the outcome.
When we look at the prayers scattered across Scripture, we see the same needs we experience today: forgiveness, wisdom, strength, direction, and gratitude. These aren’t just ancient stories, they mirror the things we pray about in our own lives.
We gather this month to remember that prayer still has the power to shape our lives. It grounds us when we feel uncertain, gives us peace when anxiety rises, and reminds us that God is not distant but deeply involved in the details of our everyday.
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.”
