The Prayer of a Broken Heart

In this sermon, we dive deep into the story of Hannah from 1 Samuel 1—a woman whose silent suffering and heartfelt prayer led to one of the most powerful turning points in Israel’s history. As you reflect on Hannah’s emotional journey, we’ll see what it means to carry silent burdens, how God works even in seasons of delay, and the power of raw, honest prayer. This message is for anyone who has ever felt forgotten, misunderstood, or spiritually exhausted.
