Hannah was a sorrowful woman for a long time and she complained about her unpleasant situation of barrenness. She was provoked by her adversary to make her worry and weep over her condition. Until she prevailed in the place of in prayer, she remained a sorrowful woman. When she prayed earnestly, the Lord changed her complaint to acclaim. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

The principle of sowing and reaping is emphasised in various passages of the Scripture. The Lord expects us to forgive those that trespass against us so that He will also forgive us when we sin against Him. But if we choose to harden our hearts and refuse to forgive our offenders, the Lord likewise will not forgive us when we plead for mercy because of our sins. Do not forget that you will always need God's forgiveness - 1 Kings 8:46.

Because of the sin of Adam, every man born into the world has inherited sin, apart from Jesus - the seed of the woman. And no one can cleanse himself from sin or help another man. Only Jesus can transform a sinner into a saint by cleansing them with His precious blood which was shed at Calvary for the remission of sins. Jesus stands at the door of your heart, knocking, that you may let Him in.

Seeing that the Jews were pleased when he executed James, King Herod arrested Apostle Peter intending to kill him also. Now Peter was being held in a maximum security prison with 16 soldiers watching over him. The night before the day Herod intended to execute him, Peter slept between two soldiers, bound with two chains, with soldiers on guard at the door to prevent his escape. However, Peter did not lose his peace because he trusted God.

Many people were around the Lord Jesus but it was only the touch of the woman with the issue of blood that drew virtue from Him. The touch of that poor woman was different because she had a purpose for touching Jesus. She expected healing and virtue went out from the Lord to heal her. Whatever your need, there is enough virtue from Jesus to meet that need.
