In today’s podcast we look at a few women who prayed in the Bible. There are so many women who prayed in the Bible, time will not permit us to go over every single one of them, we will talk about 2 today. Hannah and Anna

1Samuel1:9-26

Hannah was married to a man called Elkannah and she had no child. She was very sorrowful because the second wife was always teasing her for her barrenness.

Hannah whilst on a family trip to worship in Shiloh, went to the temple and prayed intensely to God, she wept , her spirit was heavy, and she poured her heart out to God in prayers and ended it with a vow to God.

1. He will be returned to God

2. He will be a Nazarite.

So long story short, God blessed Hannah with a son and she brought he back to God and He was Prophet Samuel who served God till he died!

Anna

Luke 2:36-38

She was a woman who married and after 7 years her husband died and then she became a widow and dedicated her life to prayer and fasting for the salvation of God to Israel ie for the coming of the Messiah. In other words she was amongst those who prayed into existence Jesus our savior.

She was really old, shoe could have said she needs a break now relax and rest the rest of her life, but she was constant in prayer and fasting. She was a perfect example of consistency in prayer for years.

She came in at the right time and saw Jesus and a baby and recognized him because she had been praying.

It takes a lot to stay consistent at anything, but the more one works at it the better one gets. It works the same way in Spiritual things.

The more and regularly you pray and read your Bible the more regularly and consistent you will read and pray. Soon you develop and good habit and it becomes second nature to just do it.

There are many more women who prayed and got results but for the sake of study and I chose these two.

Next week we look at the Pauline prayers

Let’s keep praying and stay consistent!
