Hope you are having a blessed day.
Proverbs 31:15
She rises while it is still night
and provides food for her household
and portions for her maidens.
Hannah's story, found in 1 Samuel 1-2:11, is one of faith and diligence. Hannah prays to God for a son and God finally grants her prayer.
1 Samuel 1:27
For this child I prayed,
and the Lord has granted me
my petition that I made to Him.
petition - make or present a formal request to (an authority) with respect to a particular cause.
Commentaries:
Michelle Osherow tells us that Hannah represents the character of the earnest petitioner and grateful celebrant of divine glory. Hannah was an important figure for early English Protestantism, which emphasized the importance of private prayer. The Jerusalem Talmud took Hannah as an exemplar of prayer. The story of Hannah is the Haftarah reading for Rosh Hashanah.
Nelson's Bible Commentary 1 Sam. 1:27
Hannah offered a testimony of what God had accomplished on her behalf. By telling others, she exalted God and praised Him for His gracious acts towards her.

Ephesians 1:16
