1 Samuel 1:1-28; Luke 1:26-38 (1 Samuel 1:17)

Question for reflection:
Reflecting on the Old Testament text, in what ways does Hannah model for the church how to live faithfully in our time?

Prayer for the day:
Hear our prayer, O God. We want to find a meaningful wholeness within the fragments of our lives. Reveal yourself to us. Renew our hope. Amen.
