Hannah : A Model of Faith

What is diligently seeking God?  Is it coming to God on a daily basis?  Is it coming to worship and praise Him?   Is it believing that He is there?  And believing that He will reward me? Let’s review the concept of diligently seeking God by reviewing the faith and dedication of Hannah, the mother of Samuel.

 What did Hannah do?
1stSamuel 1:20 “Once when they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh, Hannah stood up. Now Eli the priest was sitting on a chair by the doorpost of the LORD's temple.  In bitterness of soul Hannah wept much and prayed to the LORD.  And she made a vow, saying, "O LORD Almighty, if you will only look upon your servant's misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the LORD for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head."
