1 Samuel 1:1-11, God Is Our Fortress

On this Mother’s Day, we begin a study of one woman of God who faced suffering and distress with dependence on the LORD, Yahweh, the sovereign and omnipotent God (“the LORD of hosts”). She prays to Him and wholeheartedly submits her life under His will. She also praises and hopes in the LORD her God. May the Lord encourage the women of our church to follow in the footsteps of this woman of God and depend on the Lord for all the resources that they need for life and godliness.
