Hannah longed for a child but faced years of waiting and ridicule from Peninnah, her husband’s other wife. Her sorrow was deep, but instead of giving up, she turned to God in prayer. She poured out her heart, making a vow to dedicate her child to the Lord if He blessed her with one. God heard her cry and, in His perfect timing, gave her a son called Samuel. True to her promise, she gave him back to God, and he grew to become a mighty prophet in Israel. If you’ve been waiting on God, be encouraged. He sees our tears, hears our prayers, and will answer at the right time. *Song: Wait on You by Elevation worship, Maverick City Music*
