This is women in the bible of jan.
The story of Hannah is written in the bible in 1samuel 1:1-10.
There was a man named Elkanah son of Jeroham.He had two wives,Hanna and Peninnah.Peninnah had children but Hannah had none.Every year Elkanah went from Ramah to worship and offer sacrifies to the Lord Almighty at Shiloh,where Hophni and Phinehas,the two sons of Eli,were priest of the lord.Each time Elkanah offered his sacrifies,he would give her only one share,because she had no children.Because she had no children Peninnah would torment and humiliate her so that she would cry and refuse to eat anything.One day she realized that only god can save her from this problem.So she went alone to the church and cried out to the lord and prayed "lord if you give me a son I promise that I will dedicate him to you for his whole life and that he never have his hair cut" .There is a clarity in her prayer so god pleased with her prayer that he blessed her with a son named Samuel.She kept him until she weaned him then she dedicated him to the service of god.
This samuel became a prophet.God used him greately.God made him to bring back the covenant box from Philistia.He anointed Saul and Devid as kings.He changed the Israelites and made them to turn to god.This is all because of one woman's prayer .
Hannah proved that prayer can change history and also can change god's heart.
Like her have a faithful prayer and the prayer which pleases god.
If you believe ,you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer(mathew 21:22).
