Reader! I do beg you to remark the blessed effects of prayer, on the mind of Hannah. After she had poured out her heart in prayer to God, she went her way, and her countenance was no more sad. Such should be the uniform conduct of God's people. When I have committed my cause to Him, faith should act with firmness, in the assurance that believing I shall receive. Luke 11:9-10.
