    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
     | 11,391 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

    Can We Pray Up A Prophet?

    Contributed by Scott Bradford on Jul 23, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,370 views

    This sermon is about Hannah dedicating praying for a child but giving him to God, which in turns means the raising up of a Prophet! What if we prayed for god to raise up from among us a National Prophet?

    Illustration: Laurel and I with our first child. She didn’t want any pain meds… and then she did… a few minutes later, holding our first born son… the pain was gone. Interesting thing about birth, the mother can be exhausted, and in pain, shouting at their husband ...read more

    God’s Purpose In Your Barrenness

    Contributed by Margaret Minnicks on Jun 3, 2013

     | 29,546 views

    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
