It’s hard to see being without as a form of prosperity. We typically associate prosperity with financial or material wealth, but in God’s kingdom, those things simply don’t matter. Hannah did not feel prosperous or blessed as she struggled with her barrenness. She felt bitter and defeated. Yet, as Pastor Mark helps us understand in today’s message, sometimes in those times of lacking, those times of longing, we can gain prosperity of an eternal nature. God can teach us patience and we can learn what it means to fully rely on Him and find joy despite the temporary struggles of this life.
