Which Old Testament figure prayed for a child and promised to dedicate that child to God's service?

Correct Answer

C) Hannah

Hannah, who was barren, prayed fervently at the tabernacle for a son, promising to dedicate him to God's service. God answered her prayer, and she gave birth to Samuel, who became a great prophet in Israel. This story, found in 1 Samuel 1-2, illustrates God fulfilling the deepest desire of Hannah's heart. It relates to our theme from Psalm 20:4, showing how God responds to heartfelt prayers and aligns our desires with His plans. Hannah's faithfulness in keeping her vow also demonstrates the importance of our response when God grants our heart's desires.
