Hannah desperately wanted a child, and in her anguish she poured her desire out before the Lord. In 1 Samuel 1, we read that God heard her and answered her soul's cry. God hears you, too. When you are burdened, stressed, feeling alone . . . your Father hears you and responds in the way you need most.

We need God's reassurance that He is with us, He is for us, and He hears our heart cry. The stories in this collection of Our Daily Bread devotionals were written by women for women to bring comfort and encouragement each day.
