Did anything change after she finished this prayer? Did any of her circumstances change? No. She's still barren. But notice, she is no longer sad because she gave it over to the Lord. You can do the same. You can lay your burdens down at his feet, and he will carry them for you. And then a miracle happens. You know, every child is a miracle. Supernatural. Who opens the womb? The Lord. He closes the womb, and he opens the womb, and he gives children. [00:52:43] (49 seconds)  #LayItAtTheLord Download clip

Children make poor people rich. I'm not talking about financial things here. There is wealth. There is riches that come with bringing children into this world. Children are a gift from god. Hallelujah. They are a blessing. They are not a burden. Children, bible says, are a heritage and a reward. In Psalm one twenty seven, we read that they are weapons to use for fighting our enemy. Like, they're like arrows, the bible says. They are a source of joy. They are a crown in their parents' old age. [00:35:14] (47 seconds)  #ChildrenAreBlessings Download clip

Now you, you say, this message doesn't apply to me. I will never be a mother. I'm a man. Well, let me ask you, man. Are you creating an environment for your wife to be that godly mother? Elkanah, imperfect man, but he loved his wife. And that's what the bible instructs husbands to do. Husbands, love your wives. Ephesians chapter five. Husbands, love your wives even as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it. Ephesians five twenty eight, so ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. [01:09:27] (50 seconds)  #HusbandsLoveLikeChrist Download clip

And young people, I'm not gonna leave you out. Are you honoring your mother? Are you honoring your father? You know this verse, I'm sure. It's been said to you many times. Ephesians chapter six verse one. Children, obey your parents in the Lord for this is right. Obey your parents for this is right. Honor thy father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise, that it may be well with thee and thou mayest live long on the earth. This is a commandment with promise.
