In the Bible 1Samuel ch1:10-11,24-28
The story of Hannah and her first child Samuel . She was barren for many years and she prays vs28 ‘for his whole life he will be given to the Lord.’
This was the moment Israel needed one to hear His word and speak to the them. Hannah understood it was Gods purpose for His people to raise a prophet .
When she prayed she willing gave her son to meet that purpose. and thru Hannahs pray God raised a prophet for the Israelites named Samuel . Following Samuel the prophet he anointed David As King and thru this lineage came God’s Only begotten son Jesus Christ.
When we pray we acknowledge that we totally depend on God who understands our needs. We not only solve our problems and have our prayers answered to enjoy a victorious life. We must ask God to fulfill His purpose unselfishly thru our prayers. An amazing opportunity to fulfill Gods destiny for your life, His will be done and glorify His name.
Hannah gave up her three year son to serve in the temple of God . She knew Gods purpose and allowed it to be fulfilled through answers to her prayer.
Our prayer should be
Lord when I pray let me know what is your purpose and may it be fulfilled through answers to my prayer.
