"Everybody hurts", REM sings. Sunday we looked at hurt and brokenness in our prayer. Through the story of Hannah, we can see how pain and loss in our lives may come from people who love us: our spouse, our peers, our spiritual leaders, and even God. What do we do with that? All we can do, at times, is cry out to Jesus.
In praying through brokenness, we want to seek out God's presence in our lives. But even in the midst of tough circumstances, there are a couple things to look for: look for where shalom is in the pain - the peace of God that transcends trials, and then look for what stewardship might be - giving back to God or blessing others.
