Take the Mess That Your Life Is... take it to God

In a sermon on Hannah's Prayer, Tim Keller says of Hannah (and recommends to us) :

"She decided :
to reject the cultural hope offered her
to reject the psychological hope offered her
to reject the cultural hope
to reject the "husband" hope

and instead...
She is going to take the big mess that her life is and take it to God and process it in prayer and resolve it there... IN HIS PRESENCE WITH HIM! She gets healed there after years of suffering.

Only God can turn a heart that experiences a life of roaring agony into a heart of peace.

--Tim Keller, in sermon titled "The Prayer for David" (slightly altered by RP to capture the difference between verbal & written)
