Hannah's prayer

Hannah's prayer was so genuine! She prayed to God with her heart. Through the Lord's providence, she had a son. And according to the promise she had made to God, she dedicated him to the Lord. It must had been difficult for her! Imagine wanting a son so much and when God gives you a son, and he is right there standing in front of you, you give him to the Lord. She still gave because she promised the Lord and the Lord answered the prayer. As she prays this prayer of thanksgiving. It really shows her over flowing joy that lives in her after she had surrendered everything, including her son to the Lord.

 Then Hannah prayed and said:

“My heart rejoices in the Lord;
    in the Lord my horn^[a] is lifted high.
My mouth boasts over my enemies,
    for I delight in your deliverance.

² “There is no one holy like the Lord;
    there is no one besides you;
    there is no Rock like our God.

³ “Do not keep talking so proudly
    or let your mouth speak such arrogance,
for the Lord is a God who knows,
    and by him deeds are weighed.

⁴ “The bows of the warriors are broken,
    but those who stumbled are armed with strength.
⁵ Those who were full hire themselves out for food,
    but those who were hungry are hungry no more.
She who was barren has borne seven children,
    but she who has had many sons pines away.

⁶ “The Lord brings death and makes alive;
    he brings down to the grave and raises up.
⁷ The Lord sends poverty and wealth;
    he humbles and he exalts.
⁸ He raises the poor from the dust
    and lifts the needy from the ash heap;
he seats them with princes
    and has them inherit a throne of honor.

“For the foundations of the earth are the Lord’s;
    on them he has set the world.
⁹ He will guard the feet of his faithful servants,
    but the wicked will be silenced in the place of darkness.

“It is not by strength that one prevails;
¹⁰     those who oppose the Lord will be broken.
The Most High will thunder from heaven;
    the Lord will judge the ends of the earth.

“He will give strength to his king
    and exalt the horn of his anointed.”

¹¹ Then Elkanah went home to Ramah, but the boy ministered before the Lord under Eli the priest.

While reading this prayer, i feel her excitement and happiness as she surrendered the boy to the Lord. Do we feel so elated when our prayers are answered? And she had the conviction about the Lord that He would exalt those who come humble before Him. She came humble before the Lord, crying and weeping. Do we do the same or do we have too much pride?
