Pick one verse, read it with your coffee, write one sentence, and choose one action. Repeat tomorrow. Small, consistent steps shape a lifelong faith—this faith of Mary devotional keeps it doable.

Mary’s faith is marked by humble surrender (“I am the Lord’s servant”), courageous obedience, and persistent prayer. She models a heart that listens and acts... this faith of Mary devotional aims to cultivate the same posture in us.

Tomorrow morning, open Luke 1 and pray Mary’s words of surrender. Let this faith of Mary devotional become a quiet habit: one verse, one prayer, one step of obedience.
