Knowing Him Daily

24.March.2026

Hannah desperately wanted something she could not make happen in the natural. Year after year she prayed, and year after year nothing changed. The Bible says that her womb was closed, but it also says God was the one who would open it. The delay was not the denial, for it was just was not time yet.

If you are a parent praying for a child who has not yet turned, Hannah’s story is yours. Not because the details match, but because the posture does. She kept showing up. She kept bringing it before God. She wept, she poured out her heart, and she refused to stop believing that God could do what she could not, and He did. “The Lord remembered her,” 1 Samuel 1:19 tells us. He had not forgotten. He never does.

I have a friend who prayed for years for her adult child to come to God. He had known Jesus as a little boy, but life took him down some very hard roads. He was even homeless at one point. He was using drugs and selling them. She will be the first to tell you she was not a perfect mom, even after she gave her life to Jesus. But she kept praying. She kept showing up. She kept believing when there was very little to believe in. And God was faithful, not just to her son, but with her, in the middle of all of it. That same young man is today an excellent husband, father, and employee, and he now partners in a business that pours into children and youth. A complete 180°. What the enemy meant to destroy, God completely redeemed. Her words to me have been so simple since I met her: “God is faithful with us.” Not just to us. With us. In the mess, in the waiting, in the moments we are not at our best. He is faithful with us.

Psalm 113:9 says He “grants the barren woman a home, like a joyful mother of children.” Barrenness is not a permanent condition in the hands of God. What looks closed, He can open. What looks finished, He can restore. What looks like it has gone too far has not gone further than His reach. But here is what we must not miss, He moves in partnership with us. He loved us enough to give us a choice, and with that choice came authority. Luke 10:19 tells us, “I give you the authority…over all the power of the enemy.” We are not passive observers waiting for God to do something. We are covenant carriers, and our involvement matters.

The enemy wants you to read the silence as abandonment. It is not. John 10:10 reminds us that it is the thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy, not God. Every delay, every season of waiting that has worn you thin…that is not the Father pulling back. That is the enemy working against what God has already promised. And he does not get the final word.

Luke 1:37 says it plainly: “For with God nothing will be impossible.” Nothing. Not the child who walked away angry. Not the one who says they do not believe. Not the years that have already passed. Nothing is outside what God can redeem.

Keep showing up the way Hannah did, with your whole heart and your honest tears. He is not unmoved by either.

The waiting is not wasted, because God is still at work.

Make today count and see you tomorrow.
