Through Hannah’s story, we see that surrender begins with preparation, requires alignment with God’s will, carries real weight, and ultimately comes to a moment where we choose to release what we have been holding onto.A heart of surrender trusts that God is worthy of everything we have and that His plans are greater than our own. As we listen for God and follow Him, we are called to surrender not only what is difficult to give, but every part of our lives to Him.

Listening Through the Struggle
1 Samuel 1:1–20
Life brings struggles that can leave us hurting, waiting, and wondering what God is doing. In 1 Samuel 1, Hannah brings her deep pain to the Lord through prayer and pours out her heart before Him.
Pastor Jeff walked us through Hannah’s story and showed us how prayer brings our struggles to God, even when the answer does not come immediately. While we wait, God gives us peace, reminding us that we can trust Him with what we cannot control.
Hannah’s story also points us to the faithfulness of a God who remembers and acts in His perfect timing. When we face deep struggles, we can bring them to God, trust Him while we wait, and rest in the assurance that He has not forgotten us.

Will I Trust God?
This Sunday, Dr. Adam Groza walked us through five areas where we are called to trust God: our salvation, what is unseen, what is personally painful, what is unexpected, and the outcomes. Scripture shows us that trusting God means relying on Him even when we cannot see what He is doing or understand what lies ahead.
As we grow in trust, we are called to look in faith to Christ, who endured the cross and remained faithful. We can move forward in faith, knowing that God is faithful even when we may waver or tremble.
