Holy Night and Little Star: A 5-Day Reading PlanNäide

Day 2

“Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.” — Luke 1:29

At first, Mary was worried and frightened about what it meant to be “favored” by God. She probably guessed that it would mean big changes in her life. Being worried and frightened about things changing is part of being human. It’s not wrong to feel that way.

Discussion

What is a big change that has happened in your life? Was it scary?

Prayer

Dear God, changes are sometimes scary. Thank You for letting us feel our big feelings. Thank You that we can tell You about them because You will always be there with us.

(Tell God about any worries or fears you have about a change you are facing in your life right now.)
