A verse for 6/14/12

1Sa 1:13  Hannah was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, and her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli took her to be a drunken woman.

1Sa 1:14  And Eli said to her, "How long will you go on being drunk? Put your wine away from you."

1Sa 1:15  But Hannah answered, "No, my lord, I am a woman troubled in spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the LORD.

1Sa 1:16  Do not regard your servant as a worthless woman, for all along I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation."

1Sa 1:17  Then Eli answered, "Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition that you have made to him."

1Sa 1:18  And she said, "Let your servant find favor in your eyes." Then the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.

1Sa 1:19  They rose early in the morning and worshiped before the LORD; then they went back to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her.

1Sa 1:20  And in due time Hannah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Samuel, for she said, "I have asked for him from the LORD."
