Fear Not at the First Christmasਨਮੂਨਾ

Mary – Found Favor with God
And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.” Luke 1:28-30 (ESV).
Mary was chosen by God to bear His Son, a daunting and overwhelming task. Yet, she was assured not to fear because she had found favor with God. Through Jesus Christ, we too have found favor with God. His grace covers us, giving us the strength to face any challenge. How does knowing you have found favor with God through Jesus Christ help you face your fears?
Prayer: Father God, Thank You for Your grace and favor through Jesus Christ. Help me to remember that I am not alone and that Your favor rests on me, empowering me to overcome my fears. In Jesus name, Amen.
