Questions

Mary was “greatly troubled” and pondered the angel’s greeting. How do you approach situations that are confusing or unsettling? Do you take time to reflect, seek counsel, or pray?
Reflect on Proverbs 3:5-6, which advises trusting in the Lord and not leaning on our own understanding. How can this passage guide us when we face unexpected news?
Mary questioned the angel, asking, “How will this be?” How does seeking understanding demonstrate faith rather than doubt?
Consider James 1:5, which encourages asking God for wisdom. How can we apply this in our lives when we lack understanding?
Mary responded, “I am the Lord’s servant… May your word to me be fulfilled.” What does her response teach us about obedience and submission to God’s will?
Reflect on Romans 12:1, which calls us to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice. How can we live out this call in our daily lives?
The angel told Mary that “no word from God will ever fail.” How does this assurance impact your faith and trust in God’s promises?
Share a personal experience where trusting in God’s promise led to a positive outcome, even if the path was uncertain.
