Tonight's family reading · Dammam
Hannah's Prayer — a 5-minute devotion for Dammam families
1 Samuel 1 · Praying honestly and eating again
Year after year Hannah wept and prayed for a child, so silently that the priest thought she was drunk. She poured out her heart, went home, and ate again — her face no longer downcast, before anything had changed.
Parents in Dammam often ask what to do when siblings are years apart in age. Read 1 Samuel 1 together, then split the question: ask the younger child what happened in the story, and ask the older one why "praying honestly and eating again" is harder than it sounds.
Memory verse
“I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him.”1 Samuel 1:27
Table question
What have you been praying about for a long time?
30-second prayer
God, hear the prayers we have prayed for years. Give us peace before the answer comes. Amen.
Make it stick: let a child read 1 Samuel 1 out loud tomorrow instead of you. Reading it to the family is worth ten times hearing it.
Tomorrow: young Samuel hears his name (1 Samuel 3). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
On Mount Carmel, Elijah rebuilt an altar of twelve stones before calling on the Lord. What did the twelve stones represent?
