哈拿的禱告:
1 哈拿禱告說：我的心因耶和華快樂；我的角因耶和華高舉。我的口向仇敵張開；我因耶和華的救恩歡欣。
2只有耶和華為聖；除他以外沒有可比的，也沒有磐石像我們的神。
3人不要誇口說驕傲的話，也不要出狂妄的言語；因耶和華是大有智識的神，人的行為被他衡量。
4 勇士的弓都已折斷；跌倒的人以力量束腰。
5 素來飽足的，反作用人求食；飢餓的，再不飢餓。不生育的，生了七個兒子；多有兒女的，反倒衰微。
6 耶和華使人死，也使人活，使人下陰間，也使人往上升。
7 他使人貧窮，也使人富足，使人卑微，也使人高貴。
8 他從灰塵裡抬舉貧寒人，從糞堆中提拔窮乏人，使他們與王子同坐，得著榮耀的座位。地的柱子屬於耶和華；他將世界立在其上。
9 他必保護聖民的腳步，使惡人在黑暗中寂然不動；人都不能靠力量得勝。
10 與耶和華爭競的，必被打碎；耶和華必從天上以雷攻擊他，必審判地極的人，將力量賜與所立的王，高舉受膏者的角。
當我看到Anne所寫的一些東西時,神就讓我去思想到最近在學校所發生的一些事情,
所以我也要向神禱告:是的,只有耶和華是那位聖潔的神；除他以外沒有可比的，也沒有磐石像我們的神,主阿,是的幫助我,不要因為遇到不公平時,而灰心和沮喪,你是為人伸冤的神,幫助我的眼光和心思仍舊依然專心仰望在祢的身上,.願我的心因耶和華快樂；願我的角因耶和華高舉。願我因耶和華的救恩歡欣,求主再次,用祢的力量來束力我的腰,也求祢保護你聖民的腳步.奉耶穌基督的名禱告 阿們.

撒母耳記上第一章：信心的禱告
前天才發現，原來我與撒母耳的媽媽同名。法文的哈拿就是Anne。哈哈～ ^^感到很榮幸，可以跟這位婦人有同名，我也應當好好學習這位婦人的榜樣。
重點是，我覺得這位哈拿實在很值得學習。
雖然她剛開始人生遭遇非常的委屈。因Elkanah的兩個妻子之間（Peninnah與Hannah），他偏愛的是哈拿，所以哈拿要受Elkanah另個妻子Peninnah的種種折磨。況且，因她沒生育（而當時的社會不生育是個非常嚴重與羞恥的事），她受周圍的人的嘲笑與欺負。
如我以前國中的體育老師曾經說：「這世界本來就不公平」。
但是，她如何面對這一切的不公平呢？
她並沒有用報復的心態或回罵的方式去面對Peninnah的惡毒言語。
她是把她的憂愁與眼淚獻給神，轉向萬能的真神，來向祂乞求：
「萬軍之耶和華阿，你若是看顧使女的困苦，紀念我，不忘記你的使女，賜給使女一個兒子，我就必把他一生獻給耶和華。」（撒上1:11）
而神真賜給哈拿一個兒子，就是之後成為以色列人一個偉大先知的撒母耳（Samuel）。
哈拿也很守約定，把他兒子獻給上帝，把這孩子交託給當時的大祭司以利（Eli）來實習，但依然時常來看顧他。之後，哈拿也生了三個兒子與兩個女兒。
有信心的禱告力量真的極大。
當我們遇到困難，似乎無路可走
當我們工作上被老闆錯怪
被同事欺負與羞辱
我們要選擇怎麼反應？
這世界不公平，
但我們可以選擇如何去面對這不公平。
「我在急難中求告耶和華，他就應允我。」（詩120:1）
----------------------------------------------------------
The world is unfair. And it is a fact we cannot control what others do or say, and we cannot change their ways, their thoughts. But we can choose with what kind of attitude we react to them.
Hannah's way of reacting to Peninnah's mockings and evil words, is to weep and turn to God, to ask for God's fair judgement and give her the comfort she needs:
"O Lord of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your servant and remember me and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a son, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life." (1Sm 1:11)
People give us despair.
But God gives us hope.
It might seem as though sometimes God is not listening to our prayers, but is it not that He might be planning for something all along and that He is still waiting for the right time to accomplish something greater that we can imagine? It is at an age when she thought she could not birth no more that God chose to let Hannah give birth to Samuel--"finally". But it was no ordinary son she bore. It was a savior to Israel.
Hannah has seen that only turning to God wholeheartedly can open doors. She thus transformed the occasion for self-pity to an occasion for hope and faith.
What shall we do when we meet the various trials of life?
When our boss is torturing us, when our co-workers are making our lives miserable?
When we feel that our world is falling apart because we cannot handle things no more?
May we not take Hannah as a model and turn towards our God?
Praying is letting God work things out, letting him give us the wisdom to carry on.
"In my distress I called to the Lord,
and he answered me.
Deliver me, O Lord,
from lying lips,
from a deceitful tongue."
(Psalms 120:1-2)
