Hannah’s inability to conceive a child took a heavy toll on her. She brought this matter to the Lord over and over again through tears. This put a strain on her relationship with her husband Elkanah as he struggled to support her. Hannah persisted in asking God for a child, eventually resolving that she would rather have one and give them completely to God than not have a child at all.
