Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite: and he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there. And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions: but unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb. And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.

3 Days
A 3-day devotional to encourage women trying to conceive.
When it comes to fasting, there are so many things to consider, from what to stop eating, how long, and how to stay healthy. We often forget the most important thing—the biblical principles of what to expect and how to persevere! In this 3-day devotional, you’ll discover how to biblically pray and obey God in the middle of your fast.
In this devotional, we will review a familiar text in the book of 1 Samuel, chapter one. Most times, when these verses are taught or preached, it zeroes in on Hannah’s barrenness. Let’s review this text in a different light. What do you do when you are faced with a hard reality? How do you handle your adversity and the adversary that provokes you? Over the next three days, we will glean and apply three Biblical principles to help you cope with your divorce.
Disappointment, in one way or another, happens to us all. How we process the disappoint determines if it will be the foundation for God to do a miracle or if it will be an anchor that weighs us down.
