A Story about Israel...
A Story about God...
Questions for Reflection and Discussion:
Have you ever felt pain similar to Hannah’s? Have you ever talked about it to anyone? Is now a good time?
Had you been Hannah, how frustrated would you have been with God before she finally got what she asked for?
In what ways does Hannah’s situation parallel Israel’s? How does it add to what’s going on when we realize that Hannah’s story is told to draw this connection?
Do you believe that God is what this story suggests? Why or why not?
Spend a few minutes talking to God about what you hope to gain from this study.
