Anna - Her Promise

Anna - Her Promise

Anna’s life revolved around prayer and fasting in the temple. She evidently had no family, no home, no job. Instead, God was her family, the temple her home, and prayer her occupation. Though you may not have the freedom to spend every moment in prayer, as she did, you can be sure the time you do spend is never wasted. If you long to see your Savior, to experience his presence in your life, let Anna’s devotion encourage you.

Promises in Scripture

Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people. Walk in all the ways I command you, that it may go well with you.

— Jeremiah 7:23

He has shown all you people what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?

To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.

— Micah 6:8

Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.

— Romans 12:10
