| 0:00.0 | Welcome to One Minute Scripter Study, a Come Follow Me podcast. We are your host, Kristen Walker Smith and Kelly Black. |
| 0:09.2 | Hey friend, it's Kristen. Grab your scriptures and let's dive into 1st Samuel 1, verse 15. Now, I have always struggled with prayer. It does not feel natural. It doesn't feel instinctive. I wish it did, but it doesn't. And so I am |
| 0:22.4 | constantly working on my prayer relationship with God. During the time of the judges, an Israelite man |
| 0:28.5 | named Elkanah had two wives, Hannah and Pamina. I'm saying that wrong. I'm 90% sure. |
| 0:34.7 | Now, Panina had born Elkina many children, but Hannah remained barren. And even though |
| 0:39.4 | Elkanah loved Hannah dearly, she struggled with the taunting of Panina over her inability to bear |
| 0:45.7 | any children. One day at the temple, Hannah prayed so earnestly and sorrowfully that the priest |
| 0:51.5 | accused her of being drunk. Hannah answered him saying, |
| 0:55.1 | No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, |
| 1:01.7 | but have poured out my soul before the Lord. Hannah was so intent on prayer that she described |
| 1:07.4 | it as pouring out her soul. Her example has taught me a new and better way to pray. |
| 1:13.2 | When I fall into a routine prayer, I try to picture my soul as a barrel. I pray and pour out all |
| 1:19.7 | of my feelings until I can scrape the bottom of that barrel. I have found that when I focus on pouring |
| 1:25.4 | everything out, it feels like I'm really talking to and connecting with Heavenly Father. Because of that when I focus on pouring everything out, it feels like I'm really talking |
| 1:28.3 | to and connecting with Heavenly Father. |
| 1:30.3 | Because of that, I can hear him better. |
| 1:32.3 | So if you also struggle with prayer, you might see if you can get to the bottom of your |
| 1:36.3 | personal barrel during your next prayer. |
| 1:39.3 | So the takeaway of the day in five words or less is, pour out your prayers. |
| 1:44.9 | Thanks so much for being here today and for coming closer to Christ with me one minute at a time. |
| 1:52.2 | Hey, parents, how confident are you that your kids know how to recognize the Holy Ghost? |
| 1:57.1 | Or get an answer to prayer or to know what to do if they don't get an answer to prayer. |
