Good morning!
Read I Samuel 1
12And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth.
n1 continued…: Heb. multiplied to pray
13Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken. 14And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken ? put away thy wine from thee. 15And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I [am] a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.
n1 of a sorrowful…: Heb. hard of spirit
16Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.
n1 complaint: or, meditation
17Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant [thee] thy petition that thou hast asked of him. 18And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more [sad].
Hannah was asking for a son. Hannah brings us a strong example of Matthew 7 and Luke 11, ask, seek, knock.
