What can we learn from Hannah life and how can we apply it today. Well mothers you can pray for your future children…if you know you are going to get ‘married’ and have children someday. Pray for that future child…if you’re in a marriage and you are planning to have children…pray for that child. Pray for their health, pray for their lives…pray God would use them.
When they are born, pray for their growth…pray for their futures…pray for their future wife or husband…pray they would grow up to love the Lord and be used by him. Pray for their friends, that God would surround them with Christians. Grandparents you can do the same…
Most of all pray in front of them…let your children see you praying for them. Let them hear you pled with God about their lives. Grandparents when your around your grandchildren let them see you pray! Set the example for them to follow the rest of their lives.
Worship! Worship with them in church…take them to church and let them see you worship…let them hear and see how important worship is in your life. Worship in marriage…let them see God is apart of your marriage. Let them see you praying with each other; show God’s love and patience to one another...The best thing a mother can do for her children is to love her husband and the best thing a father can do for his children is love his wife. Most of all let them see you worship God by the way you live everyday. Let them see you honor God with money, your language, everything you do should honor God, it is your spiritual act of worship (Romans 12:1). Grandparents you do the same thing…lead by example…the children will never forget it.
So there you have it…Hannah gave a great example for mothers to follow. Re-read the story in 1 Samuel and most of all have a great Mothers Day…I love all the moms out there, who are doing the very best they can. I want to encourage you the best I can. Keep your eyes on Jesus and God bless you all!
