Take 2-3 minutes to quiet yourself and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.
Reading: Luke 1:34–37 (ESV); Jeremiah 32:17 (ESV), 27 (ESV)
Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read.
After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life.
Mary’s “How will this be?” wasn’t doubt—it was honest wrestling. God is not threatened by your questions. He welcomes them. Gabriel’s answer remains God’s answer to every impossible situation: Nothing is impossible with God.The virgin birth broke natural laws; God can break through your impossible places, too. Whether it’s relational, financial, emotional, or spiritual—no situation is beyond His reach. Faith doesn’t require full understanding; it requires full surrender.
Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…
- Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you).
- Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: God, I bring my impossible places to You. Strengthen my faith to trust Your power even when I cannot see the path forward.
- Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today.
Take Action:
- Identify one impossible situation and write a prayer of surrender over it.
- Share your request with a trusted believer to pray with you this week.
