God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. 4The Word gave life to everything that was created,1:3-4 Or and nothing that was created was created except through him. The Word gave life to everything. and his life brought light to everyone. 5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.

Then the angel said, “I am Gabriel! I stand in the very presence of God. It was he who sent me to bring you this good news! 20But now, since you didn’t believe what I said, you will be silent and unable to speak until the child is born. For my words will certainly be fulfilled at the proper time.”

For the word of God will never fail.1:37 Some manuscripts read For nothing is impossible with God.

Lord God my Father,

Continue you work in me and cause me to become still so you can have your way and reveal your desire to me in my stillness. Your Truth is my essence, help me to find it and allow your work to flow through me. Help me to only focus on what you want from me without me questioning it.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
