Hannah is pouring out her heart at a place of worship in Shiloh. She enters counsel or at least conversation with the Eli the priest. Eli invokes a blessing: "Go in peace, and my the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him." (1 Samuel 1:17)
At that Hannah is encouraged. Her face was "no longer downcast." (1Samuel 1:18)
How often a word of blessing helps! May we become people who invoke God's blessings. May we bless others, as we bless the Lord.
