This is the second post in a Bible study series called Loving God With All Your Heart: Portraits of Love. You can find the introduction and the first portrait here.
I hope you gleaned a lot of insights from the first study about loving God with all your heart! I certainly did, and I look forward to sharing some of those with you after our study is finished.
In case you missed it, you can find week one’s study, Hosea’s portrait, here.
This week, we’re digging into the life of Hannah to discover how she loved God with all her heart, mind, and strength.
What you need: your Bible, a pen or pencil, Portrait of Love: Hannah printable

A few notes before you begin:
- Space out your reading through the week, answering the questions as you encounter them in the text.
- Don’t rush through your reading! The reading assignment this week is short, so take your time and linger with God. Consider Hannah as a real person with real emotions and real problems. Think about what her experience was like. Her life is recorded on the pages of God’s Word as an example for you! What can you learn from her?
- Begin and end your time in God’s Word with prayer. There is no better Teacher than the Holy Spirit, and He can open your eyes to God’s truth and help you apply it.
- The printable worksheet provided is only a guide. You will likely need to continue some of your answers on the back of the page. Feel free to add to the outline or omit from it. The goal is simply for you to ponder and apply the Scriptures.
- As you read, keep our main question in mind: What can I learn about loving God with all my heart, soul, and strength?
