Message “Advent with Mary” Rev. John Song
Luke 1:35-38
The Annunciation: The Birth of God is foretold
35 The angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God. 36 And now, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her who was said to be barren. 37 For nothing will be impossible with God.” 38 Then Mary said, “Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.
“Prayer is not about getting what I want. It’s not about avoiding what I don’t want.
It’s about letting go of my ego agendas and surrendering my life over to God.”
~ Michael A. Singer
The Prayer of Abandonment to God
By Clemens Maria Hofbauer (1751 – 1820, Vienna)
I want what God wants
when He wants it,
how He wants it,
because He wants it.
