Welcome to this Tuesday edition of A Word of Hope! As we step into the new year and the liturgical season of Ordinary Time, we pause to reflect on the power of honest prayer and God’s faithful timing.
In today’s reflection, we look at the inspiring story of Hannah from the Book of Samuel. Distraught and longing for a child, Hannah poured her heart out in the temple, pleading for God’s help. Her story reminds us that it is okay to bring our deepest pains and longings to God. But what happens in the waiting?
Join us as we discuss:
The transition into the season of Ordinary Time.
The significance of Hannah’s prayer and the eventual "Song of Hannah."
How to do an "examination of blessings" when it feels like God isn't moving.
Recognizing the small graces and comforts God places in our path daily.
God hears it all. He knows your heart. Let us not be afraid to plead with Him, but also let us open our eyes to how He is walking beside us right now.
