What a true saying that our spirits will lift when God gives us what we want.Its happens in life when we want something from god we are eagerly waiting for that thing and when it come in to reality our spirits automatically lifts up and give us more strength and inner vision about His existence.
Hi Emma,
Thanks for all your encouragements. Just to say – we need to *give* what we want to God. Hannah’s prayer is all about giving her deepest desire *to* God. That’s when our spirits lift! :)
