This is part 1 of a series on Hannah, a woman who suffered persecution and humiliation. She is a model of persistent prayer, of reverent worship, of steadfast belief in a God who answers the cries of the heart. The way she responds under persecution is a model for us, especially poignant in these days. Will we let the weight of oppression snuff out our prayers? Or will we position in persistence and believe in the God who opens up the womb to birth miracles? May you position in persistence and consider your heart burdens through Hannah's example! Join tomorrow for another look at Hannah! Blessings! To learn more about Into the Waters, please visit www.intothewaters.com!
