Then she made a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if You will will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.” —1 Samuel 1: 11
Hannah wanted a son in order that she might be delivered from the incessant vexing of Peninnah, her husband’s other wife. Day after day she begged for release from this woman’s torment.

Maybe God has delayed the answers to some of your prayers. Maybe you have waited so long you feel desperate. If that is where you are, it’s time to begin interceding before the Lord. As you do, God may astound you by the changes He brings in your attitudes as He shapes and moves you to that place of harmony with Him.
