According to the Centers for Disease Control, approximately 7.4 million women in the United States have used infertility services. These women want desperately to have a baby and try everything to conceive.

And Hannah prayed and said, “My heart exults in the Lord; my horn is exalted in the Lord.”

I Samuel 2:1

Had these services been available during her time, Hannah might have visited a doctor for help to conceive, too. She’d wanted a baby for so long. Scripture says year after year when she and her husband Elkhanah went to Shiloh to offer sacrifices, she would pray for God to open her womb. In desperation, she made a vow that if God gave her a son, she would give him back to God in service. When Hannah had Samuel, she thanked God for granting her request. She prayed for God to use him in His kingdom and delivered him to Eli to serve in the temple. Samuel became a great prophet and leader, eventually advising King Saul and King David.

Are you praying for children today that will be America’s future leaders tomorrow? Petition God for parents all over the country to dedicate their children back to God to be used for His purposes and glory.
