Thank you for this wonderful thought. I was working with that while studying God the Only Cause and Creator lesson. There was a reference to Samuel in the email that Cedar camps sends out.
“Referring to 1 Sam. 1:13, Bible scholar Cobbey Crisler pointed out that it was “woman, Hannah, who introduced and discovered the concept of silent prayer in religion-from the heart, not audibly to be seen and heard of men. And Hannah, not Samuel, introduced the age of prophesy. If not for Hannah prayers of we would not have Samuel to say “Speak God, for thy servant heareth” instead of “Hear God, for thy servant speaketh.” (1 Sam. 3:9-10)”
I love the thought with Hannah starting silent prayer. And how important it is to silently pray. To listen and do what God directs rather then to tell God what you want.
