Life can be great and most of us would know fun times, wonderful experiences and fantastic holidays. But it’s not always like that. At times there are tears in our eyes and we are left wondering, “why is this happening?” or “how long can this go on?”. It begs the question: Who of us gets through life without tears?
What do you do then? Tough it out, hoping for better days ahead? Check out Psychology Today on your Newsfeed for helpful advice? Phone a friend? Each of these has some merit. The Christian knows that we should pray. On the days when the tears are running down our face, we have a resource so many should pray. But how?
What do you say to a God who seems so distant and so… mean? Can you just vent and leave it at that? On Sunday morning we will see how Hannah prayed through her tears. You’ll get the bigger picture in 1 Samuel 1:1-20 and her prayer is found in vss 9-11. It’s a prayer that is sorely needed today and it’s gold.
