    The importance of family

    It's time to stop being just thankful and go for it ALL!

    1 Sam 1:2-20 2 And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. 3 And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the Lord of hosts in Shiloh.

    The Bible tells us that God closed up Hannah’s womb. Really? Would He do that, or was this the kind of comment where we call something an "act of God?"

    Real Mothers are special people. Real mothers would like to be able to eat a whole candy bar (all by themselves) and drink a Coke without any "floaters" in it. Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils are probably in the sandbox. Real Mothers often have sticky floors, filthy ovens and happy ...read more

    Persistence In The Presence: How Women Pray

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 22, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,423 views

    Women succeed in pray because they persist in trusting God, allow the whole self to pray, take God at His word, are not afraid of intensity, choose responsibility over religion, and keep their commitments.

    If, as Thomas Edison tells us, genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration, then I suspect it is also true that prayer is one per cent insistence and ninety-nine per cent persistence. Prayer is one per cent insistence, to be sure; we do, in our prayers, tell God what ...read more

    Whether in a family or in society, there must be room for gracious gift, not just equal value exchange, even for the sake of justice.

    January 10, 2010 Caritas in Veritate We can only imagine the look that poor Hannah gave Elkanah after he said “why are you crying. Am I not worth more to you than ten sons?” In Israel, as in many cultures today, having a son is economic security in old age. The sons had ...read more

    Living in a violent world calls for a more aggressive approach to prayer warfare. The prayer of Hannah epitomises the importance of the Holy Spirit as an intersessor and it is only when he takes over that answers to prayers are made manifest.

    The Prayer of Hannah. Prayer is communication between man and God. One of the ways your request or your desire or expectation can be granted is through the place of prayers. The Bible says we should pray without ceasing. That is we must pray in and out ...read more

    God’s Purpose In Your Barrenness

    Contributed by Margaret Minnicks on Jun 3, 2013

    God had an ultimate purpose for the barrenness of biblical women such as Hannah in the Old Testament and Elizabeth in the New Testament.

    Usually when we think about Hannah, no doubt we think about her prayer for a son. Today, let’s go deeper into the story and see that Hannah’s barrenness served a purpose. When we speak of women being barren in the Bible, it is usually in reference to a woman being childless. However, the word ...read more
