Faith, Surrender & Joy | Mother's Day 2026

In this message from 1 Samuel 1, we look at Hannah’s honest prayer before God and what her story teaches about faith, surrender, and joy. Alongside real stories from women in different seasons of motherhood and life, this sermon explores how God remains faithful through infertility, adoption, hardship, parenting struggles, uncertainty, and waiting.

No matter what season you are walking through, this message encourages listeners to trust God’s plan, pray honestly, and discover the joy that comes through surrendering fully to Him.

Key Insights:

• Honest prayer and surrender are often the starting point for healing and spiritual growth.
• God’s plan for your life does not need to look like anyone else’s to still be meaningful and good.
• Lasting joy is not dependent on circumstances but on trusting and following God.
• Parenting and influence are strengthened through community, faithfulness, and daily surrender.
• God can work through seasons of disappointment, uncertainty, and pain to shape deeper trust and purpose.
