Day 2: When God's Truth Doesn't Match Your Reality

"Greetings, favored woman! The Lord is with you." Mary's response? Confusion and disturbance. Sometimes God's declarations over our lives feel disconnected from our circumstances. You're reading promises of peace while experiencing anxiety. You're hearing about God's favor while facing financial pressure. You're told God is with you, but you feel utterly alone. Mary teaches us that it's okay to be honest about this disconnect. God speaks truth over us before He changes our situation because He wants to anchor our hearts first. His favor isn't based on our circumstances but on His grace and purposes. Before you see what God will do, you must believe who God says you are.

Reflection Question:

What truth is God speaking over your life that doesn't yet match your current reality?

Application:

Take a moment to write down a specific promise from Scripture that God has spoken over your life. Carry this promise with you or place it somewhere visible to remind you that His truth prevails over your circumstances.
