"Then Eli answered and said, 'Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition which you have asked of Him.' ....So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad."
I Samuel 1:17-18
Hannah did what people used to call "praying through" – staying at the altar until a person heard from God and could go with peace of heart. Even though we don't use the phrase any longer, it is still valid. Either I carry the burden or I do what the Apostle advised:
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
(Ephesians 4:6-7)
Today's Thought: Praying until we hear from God brings peace of heart.
Have a "praying though" day. Love you.
