Let It Be to Me According to Your Word


Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God….  Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.”

—Luke 1:30, 38a (NKJV)



Sovereign and Loving LORD,


Grant that I would always willingly submit to the plan that You have for me—that I would simply trust and obey—even when I don’t understand the full implications of those things to which You have called me.


Thank You for the favor that You pour out on me every time that You allow me to be a part of Your amazing story of redemption and restoration in the lives of those that You put in my path—and for the blessing that comes upon my life, even through the pain and hardship I might face along that journey.

Help me to take seriously the part You expect me to play—remembering that I am always called to be “on mission” wherever I go, ready to surrender to whatever You ask of me.

Let my sole motivation be to bring Glory to You, as I seek to please You in everything that I think, and say, and do—and as I place my life in the hands of the One who came as a baby to be the Savior of all mankind.


Grant that I would always willingly submit to the plan that You have for me—that I would simply trust and obey—even when I don’t understand the full implications of those things to which You have called me.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
