The Desire for Motherhood: God’s Design and Hannah’s Prayer

In this special Mother’s Day message, Pastor Rains explores the divine design of motherhood from Genesis 2 and 1 Samuel 1. From the creation of woman as man’s perfect companion to Hannah’s heartfelt prayer for a child, this episode reveals how God placed within every woman a sacred desire — not just to receive life, but to give it back to Him in worship. Through the stories of Hannah and Mary, we see that motherhood is not merely about emotional fulfillment, but about becoming a vessel of God’s grace and love.

Whether you are a mother, child, or simply someone seeking to understand God’s heart for family, this episode will inspire you to see motherhood as a reflection of God’s giving nature and His glory in creation.
