1 Samuel 1:10-18

10 She was ^adeeply distressed and prayed to the Lord and wept bitterly. 11 And she ^bvowed a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if you will indeed ^clook on the affliction of your servant and ^dremember me and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a son, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, ^eand no razor shall touch his head.”

12 As she continued praying before the Lord, Eli observed her mouth. 13 Hannah was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, and her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli took her to be a drunken woman. 14 And Eli said to her, “How long will you go on being drunk? Put your wine away from you.” 15 But Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman troubled in spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but ^fI have been pouring out my soul before the Lord. 16 Do not regard your servant as ^ga worthless woman, for all along I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation.” 17 Then Eli answered, ^h“Go in peace, and the God of Israel ⁱgrant your petition that you have made to him.” 18 And she said, ^j“Let your servant find favor in your eyes.” Then the woman ^kwent her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.

Do Not Be Anxious

25 ^y“Therefore I tell you, ^zdo not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
