1 Samuel 1:16

16 Don't think I am a worthless woman. I have been praying like this because I'm so miserable."

1 Samuel 1:16 In-Context

14 and he said to her, "Stop making a drunken show of yourself! Stop your drinking and sober up!"
15 "No, I'm not drunk, sir," she answered. "I haven't been drinking! I am desperate, and I have been praying, pouring out my troubles to the Lord.
16 Don't think I am a worthless woman. I have been praying like this because I'm so miserable."
17 "Go in peace," Eli said, "and may the God of Israel give you what you have asked him for."
18 "May you always think kindly of me," she replied. Then she went away, ate some food, and was no longer sad.
