Faith Over Fearنموونە

We are human. Beautifully and wonderfully so. With finite minds and limited understanding, countless flaws and irrational fears. We are also made in the image of God, with the capacity to hope endlessly, trust unceasingly and love remarkably. And to question.
Mary’s response to God’s messenger doesn’t feel unfamiliar or unlikely, but entirely human. A response of curiosity, underwritten with a confidence in who her God is. She wasn’t rejecting the message; she was trying to understand it. And in that moment, we see something beautiful: that God welcomes our honest questions when they come from hearts anchored in trust.
Has God ever asked you to do something that didn’t make sense? Something that challenged your logic or disrupted your plans? Maybe you’re there right now – standing before a situation that feels impossible.
In those moments, like Mary we can respond with honest curiosity rather than fear or resistance. We can ask, ‘How can this be?’ not as a statement of doubt, but as a declaration of faith that trusts God to make a way, even when we can’t see one.
He doesn’t turn away from our questions: he meets us in them, speaks to our hearts and reminds us that nothing is impossible with him.
Let your questions lead you closer to the One who holds all the answers.
Whatever lies ahead, whether it makes sense or not, may we have the courage to choose faith over fear and the humility to say, ‘I am the Lord’s servant.’ (Luke 1:38 NIV)
Think of a question you’ve been holding in your heart. Something you haven’t fully voiced to God because it feels too uncertain, too hard or too holy. Today, bring that question to him in prayer. Don’t hide it, offer it. Then spend time listening. Let your trust grow deeper in the space between asking and understanding.
God, thank you for welcoming my wonder, my confusion and my longing to understand. Help me to trust you even when things don’t make sense. Like Mary, give me a heart that is open, curious and anchored in faith. Teach me to say, ‘I am your servant’, even when the path ahead is unclear. Amen.

The season of Advent invites us to prepare our hearts for the coming of Jesus, not just with celebration but with reflection. In the Christmas story, fear is a recurring theme: in the Temple, in dreams, on hillsides and in quiet homes. Yet each time, God responds not with judgement but with reassurance: ‘Do not be afraid.’ In this series, we explore how choosing faith over fear helps us to welcome Jesus more deeply into our lives.
