In the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The Virgin's Name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you." Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will conceive and birth a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob's descendants forever; his kingdom will never end." Luke 1: 26-33

Dear God, You are the source of all hope and I come before you as your faithful servant. Help me to see the possibilities that lie ahead and trust in Your divine purpose for my life. May Your hope shine brightly in me and through me as You guide my steps to face each day with confidence and trust in Your merciful power. Even when I find it hard to see the way, fill my heart with hope and grant me both the strength and the grace to persevere. Amen
