- Hannah wanted to do something different.

- It's a mark of godliness when we have every right to be mad, but respond in grace.

- Our soul can be lifted up, our psyche can be changed, even when things all around us remain the same. That is the power of hope.

- When hope begins to dissipate, so do our words.

- Hopelessness takes away our voice.

- God will fill us when our mouths are open.
