Hannah in the Temple: 1 Samuel 1:9-18, 2:9-10

In 1 Samuel 1:9-18, Hannah prays in the temple, begging to be blessed with a son, and promises to give him to God’s service. The priest Eli, after mistakenly scolding her, gives her a blessing. Following in 1 Samuel 2:9-10, when she keeps her promise and places her son, Samuel, with the priest, she prays again in praise. Pastor Cana expresses that with God, our misunderstood prayers of desperation can me turned into praise.
