From being married for seven years, as a widow Anna’s life revolved around prayer and fasting in the temple, devoting herself entirely to God. He was her only family, the temple was her home, and prayer was her occupation. From her dedication, Anna was privileged in being one of the first to bear witness to Jesus. If you long to see your Savior and experience his presence in your life, let Anna’s devotion encourage you.
Scriptures To Read Around Anna’s Story
JEREMIAH 7:23 – 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.
MICAH 6:8 – 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.
ROMANS 12:10 – Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
LUKE 2:27 – She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.
