October 16th

This week's Bible story comes from 1 Samuel.

Hannah's Prayer

One day a woman named Hannah went to God's Holy Tent to pray. She asked God for a baby son. She promised God her son would work for Him all his life. Eli, the priest, saw her praying. He thought there was something wrong. Hannah told him she was very sad and talking to God about her troubles. Eli said, "May the Lord give you what you want." Hannah was not sad anymore.

Hannah's prayer was answered. She had a baby boy and named him Samuel, which means "God heard". When Samuel was about three years old Hannah took him to Eli, the priest, at the Holy Tent. Hannah loved Samuel very much. Every year she made him a new coat.
