In part 1 of the new "King and Deliverer" series, Pastor Michael introduces one of the greatest women of the Bible - Hannah. Through her years of heartache, mockery, and unanswered prayer, we discover a truth that changes everything: feeling forgotten by God and being forgotten by God are not the same thing. When you can't see God, you can trust that God sees you.

- Hannah endured years of pain, jealousy, and unanswered prayer - yet God never rebuked her tears or her grief - Faith isn't smiling through pain; faith means taking your pain to God - Hannah's peace came not from receiving her answer, but from making a decision to trust - before the answer came - "The LORD remembered Hannah" means His constant care became visible at the right time - not that He had forgotten - Samuel became one of the most pivotal figures in Israel's history, ushering in the age of the Kings

When you can't see God, trust that God sees you. He is never absent, never forgetful, and never far. Just because you can't see what He's doing doesn't mean He has stopped. Faith isn't knowing how your story ends. Faith is knowing Who you can trust with your story.

- "When you can't see God, trust that God sees you." - "Grief and faith aren't opposites. You don't have to walk in here and say, 'I'm fine.'" - "People can be a gift from God, but they can't be God for us." - "Feeling forgotten by God and being forgotten by God are not the same thing." - "God always remembers you because you are always on His Mind." - "Faith isn't knowing how your story ends. Faith is knowing Who you can trust with your story."

Is there something you've been praying about so long that it feels like God has forgotten you? What would it look like to trust that He sees you - even before you can see the outcome?

Tune in to hear the story of little Cora Beth waking up alone in a hospital room, why husbands have been putting their foot in their mouth since 1100 BC, and how Hannah's long-awaited son changed the entire history of Israel.
