Prayer: Pouring Out Your Heart to God

Really struck this morning listening to Bryan Chapell preach
on Hannah... interesting topics covered:
--Dealing with emptiness in our hearts
--Advancing God's Kingdom thru prayer

from 1 Samuel chapter 1: Eli (Hannah's husband) observed her mouth. Hannah was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, and her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli took her to be a drunken woman. And Eli said to her, “How long will you go on being drunk? Put your wine away from you.” But Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman troubled in spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the Lord.
