Hannah's Prayer & Eli and His Sons

Questions to consider:

1. What does this passage teach you about God?


2. What does this teach you about humanity and the world?


3. Hannah's prayer talks extensively about the power and might of God. She doesn't ask for anything! How often are your prayers centered around praising God for who he is? Do you treat God more like a wish machine?


4. How does Hannah's prayer point to a true and better king Jesus?


5. Eli, though a priest of God, neglected the importance of being a good father. This resulted in sons who defiled God's temple. Is there anything that you are neglecting that harms your relationship with God? What are they? How can you invite God into those things? Invite others in?

Let's Pray:

Father God, Thank you for being infinitely wiser and better than us. God, help me to follow you. I'm prone to wander and follow my desires, but help me run to you over my wants.
