"Heard by God"

Pastor John Lane

​

1st Samuel 1 & 2

 

Questions: 

​

1.  Have you ever been teased or mocked for something in your life that you couldn't control? Share about a time this occurred. 

​

2.  How did God use Hannah's desperate situation to further his plan? How might he use our situations to further his plans? 

​

3.  What would it have been like to leave Samuel at the tabernacle?  What do we have to "give up" in order to obey the Lord at times? 

​

4.  Read through Hannah's prayer.  This is one of the longest prayers in scripture.  What do you learn from it? 

​

5.  What areas in your life are you in need and can you imagine the Lord answering not only your prayer but the prayers of others through your needs?
