This sermon looks at the two prayers of Hannah, the barren first wife of Elkanah. The first silent praying under her breath for a child and Eli thinking she was drunk. The second is her jubilant prayer of praise after the birth of Samuel. Her prayer of exaltation of God as the Deliverer, the Savior exalts God in his attribute of holiness. Her prayer is later echoed in the prayer of Mary the mother of Jesus.
We can learn how to pray from the examples of people whose circumstances and prayers are recorded for us in Scripture. Hannah's prayer and Mary's similar prayer centuries later demonstrate the exaltation of God in worship though the declaration of his name and declaring his deeds.
