    “Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in your instructions.” (Psalm 119:18, NLT) This verse is a cry of humility, dependence, and hunger. It’s not just a request for physical sight but for spiritual illumination—to see, understand, and delight in the deep treasures of God’s Word.

    Mary was "greatly troubled" by the appearance of the angel. Many are in a similar spot - "greatly troubled" by all things spiritual. What can help them take a step forward?
