400 Prayers for Preachers Asking God’s Acceptance of Our Worship
O Eternal, almighty, and most gracious God, heaven is your throne, and earth is your footstool, holy and revered is your name; you are praised by the heavenly hosts and in the congregation of your saints on earth, and will be sanctified in all that come near unto you. We are sinful and unworthy dust, but being invited by you, are bold, through our blessed Mediator to present ourselves and our supplications before you. Receive us graciously, help us by your Spirit; let your fear be upon us: let your Word come unto us in power, and be received in love, with attentive, reverent, and obedient minds. Make it to us the savour of life unto life. Cause us to be fervent in prayer, and joyful in your praises, and to serve you this day without distraction, that we may find that a day in your courts is better than a thousand, and that it is good for us to draw near to God; through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Amen.

The Birth of Samuel [1.1-20]
1 There was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim of the hill country of Ephraim whose name was Elkanah the son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an Ephrathite.
1 There was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim of the hill country of Ephraim whose name was Elkanah the son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an Ephrathite.
2 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.
3 Now this man used to go up year by year from his city to worship and to sacrifice to the Lord of hosts at Shiloh, where the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests of the Lord.
V4-5
Tradition to feast
Giving of portions to each
Hophni & Phinehas - bad priests

1 Sam 1.
6 And her rival used to provoke her grievously to irritate her, because the Lord had closed her womb.
rival / provoke / grievously / irritate
LORD closed her womb
V7-9

10 She was deeply distressed and prayed to the Lord and wept bitterly.
11 And she vowed a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your servant and remember me and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a son, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall touch his head.”

15 But Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman troubled in spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the Lord.
16 Do not regard your servant as a worthless woman, for all along I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation.”
Paul = a drink offering = &

18 And she said, “Let your servant find favor in your eyes.” Then the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.

good man = yearly sacrifices / Eli’s sons = taken of his sacrifice also…
Peninnah - children
Hannah - barren

Eli’s sons would have taken from them!!
Hannah - Sam = not until weaned

Perhaps you relate to Elkanah today -
do you know this God?
You love someone who is being ripped apart by the consequences of the fall and you desperately want them to find contentment in God and in what His plan is for them. You want them to find peace with people and or God and for God to help and heal them where they need it most…
cry out to God
do you know this savior?
Perhaps you relate to Eli today -
You like Eli often find yourself making hasty judgements of others rather then seeking to truly minister to them. You would consider yourself a religious person but cannot relate to the honest raw closeness that Hannah displays and yet you desperately long for it…
cry out to God
Perhaps you relate to Hannah today -
You are struggling in life with a very real sense of hopelessness, a sense of sorrow or perhaps even bitterness. Your bitterness is directed toward someone who has harmed you in the past and you are beginning to question God’s goodness in your life…
