Prayer Challenge # 14 taken from 1 Samuel 1:10-11 (please read) is a desperate plea from Hannah to the Almighty God to meet a need in her life that was beyond earthly help. Her circumstances were viewed as unchangeable, unless God should decide to alter or transform her perceived need. She was convinced God was more than mildly interested in the things that mattered most to her. She prayed believing the Lord heard her deep cry for help. She also believed the Lord had both the ability and desire to make a difference in her life.
    It was not from a selfish heart that she called for help. She was prepared to give the gift of God fully to him for His expressed purposes, should He give her a son. No, she was not selfish, she understood the gifts of God are to be received and treated as though they belonged to God. Raising children in that manner would leave an imprint on their lives that would encourage them to purposes beyond themselves.
   Do you believe God cares about your hearts deepest cares? Do you believe He can change or transform your circumstances? Do you believe He will? If your deepest desire is not in alignment with His higher purposes; will you accept His will over your will? Jesus did.
