#539: "Make It Well” by MercyMe

What do you do when it isn't well with your soul — and you don't know if it ever will be?
MercyMe's "Make It Well" leads us to one of the most honest, desperate prayers in all of Scripture — Hannah's cry to God in 1 Samuel 1 and 2. Year after year of distinct suffering. Year after year of silence. And somewhere in the middle of it all, a woman who kept returning to God with her whole, honest heart.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- The Hebrew word for Hannah's suffering that appears nowhere else in Scripture — and why God gave it to us (and what it means for yours)
- Why Peninnah wasn't just being mean — and what that changes about the story
- The surprising connection between Hannah's suffering and her worship in 1 Samuel 2
