“For this Child I Prayed”

1 Samuel 1 : 27


Husbands and wives, as co-creators, should eagerly and prayerfully invite children into their homes. Then, as each child joins their family circle, they can gratefully exclaim, as did Hannah,

"For this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of him: Therefore also I have lent him to the Lord: as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the Lord."
(1 Sam. 1:27-28.)

Isn't that beautiful? A mother praying to bear a child and then giving him to the Lord.
