The LORD has chosen Zion, He has desired it for His dwelling. Psalm 132:13

Approach Him Just As You Are!

Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition which you have asked of Him. 1 Sam. 1:17
 
Hannah was an ordinary woman. She visited the house of the Lord regularly year after year as per the law. Yet below few qualities describe who she really was.  

1. She was barren.
2. She was provoked grievously and was irritated.
3. She was downhearted.
4. She wept and did not eat.
5. She was full of great anxiety and vexation.
6. She prayed to the Lord and wept bitterly.

When she laid her burdens before the Lord, is when the Lord promised to grant her request and filled her heart with His Peace. Are you in the position of Hannah too? Do not be discouraged. The Lord has been waiting for you to approach him just as you are. He is a good, good father who is willing to grant your petition and bless you with peace. Be of good courage!
