Lord; our Father,

On this Holy day of Your Annunciation, when Gabriel came to the Virgin Mary, let us give you praise. You chose the lowly Virgin to bare your Son Jesus and she did so with complete TRUST. Never once did Mary doubt You, though she must have been scared. Help us to TRUST you like Your Mother did!

Help us to look into the hurt faces of our world and the hurt places in our heart and TRUST You with it.

Your yoke is easy, burden light...let us sit in that promise with complete TRUST.

In the name of our Savior,

Amen
