God's timing
"[Hannah] was praying silently; her lips were moving, but she made no sound. So Eli thought that she was drunk, and said to her, “Stop making a drunken show of yourself! Stop your drinking and sober up!” “No, I'm not drunk, sir,” she answered. “I haven't been drinking! I am desperate, and I have been praying, pouring out my troubles to the LORD. Don't think I am a worthless woman. I have been praying like this because I'm so miserable.”
“Go in peace,” Eli said, “and may the God of Israel give you what you have asked him for.” “May you always think kindly of me,” she replied. Then she went away, ate some food, and was no longer sad."
~ 1 Samuel 1.13-18 GNB
God knew Hannah's prayers. Always. And yet Hannah did not conceive until after this particular event.
God had a big plan for Hannah's son and the timing was not yet aligned between when his son would become an adult and when God wanted to use him. This would be years later.
And when the timing aligned, God spoke to Hannah through Eli. And although she did not understand what was to come, she found peace.
Oh Holy Spirit
help me not to rush
help me defer to your timing
because you know the Father's plan
