Today’s Reading:
1 Samuel 1:9–20 (EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)
“In her deep anguish Hannah prayed to the LORD, weeping bitterly.”
(1 Samuel 1:10)
This week’s EFKS theme:
Seasons of Life — Nurture
A Thought for Today
Some of our deepest prayers begin with tears.
What This Means for Us Today
Hannah brought years of sorrow and longing honestly before God.
Her prayer was not polished. It came from a hurting heart.
God invites us to bring that same honesty to Him. We can pray with hope while still acknowledging how deeply something hurts.
Carry This With You
God welcomes the prayers that come through tears.
A Simple Prayer
Lord, You know the hopes I carry quietly.
Hear my heart when words are difficult.
Today’s Invitation
Bring one long-held hope before God again today.
Speak honestly and leave it in His care.
