Week One: Fear of Change
Theme Scripture:
“Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor
with God.” — Luke 1:30
When God interrupts our lives, it can feel
unsettling. Yet, within every divine disruption lies the
seed of something holy. This week, we’ll walk with Mary
as she learns to trust God through unexpected change.

Day 1 — When God Steps Into the Ordinary
Scripture: Luke 1:26–29
Reflection:
Mary’s story began on an ordinary day in Nazareth. Then
Gabriel appeared, and the world changed. God often
enters our everyday moments with quiet surprise — a
whisper, a nudge, a turn in the path.
Change can feel like loss, but sometimes it’s God’s
invitation to a larger story.
Practice: Light a candle and pray, “Lord, make me ready
to notice Your presence in my ordinary day.”

Day 2 — Holy Interruptions
Scripture: Luke 1:30–31
Reflection:
Mary’s plans for marriage, home, and family were
suddenly interrupted. Divine interruptions rarely come at
convenient times. Yet what feels like disruption may be
grace in disguise.
Practice: Write one interruption you’ve faced this week
and ask, “What if this, too, holds God’s purpose?”
