Hannah prayed so quietly that a priest watching from across the room thought she was drunk. She wasn't composing anything for an audience. She was in bitterness of soul, and she poured it all out before God. The answer didn't come in that moment. It came later, in a single sentence: "Yahweh remembered her." The book of 1 Samuel opens not with a king or a general or a prophet fully formed—it opens with a woman who would not stop asking, and a God who had not forgotten.
