Summary

In this conversation, David Doty discusses the story of Hannah from the book of 1 Samuel. Hannah, who was childless and taunted by her co-wife, cried out to God and made a vow to give her son back to Him. Through her suffering and patience, Hannah grew into a loving and selfless mother. Doty encourages listeners to embrace their sufferings and rejoice in them, as God uses them to prepare and shape us. He contrasts Hannah's character with that of Eli and his sons, who were corrupt and selfish. Doty concludes with a prayer for forgiveness and a desire to walk according to God's statutes.
