temple prayer

Luke 2:37
37and then was a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.

Anna, the prophet, has been widowed for most of her adult life. Rather than remarry, she is married to the Lord and his presence. It seems strange to be into prayer, worship, and fasting day and night, but with Anna, at age 84 she meets baby Jesus face to face.

Aren’t there times you wish you could just give yourself over to God like Anna? You can. You carry the temple with you now, as you share the love of Christ with your neighbor.

Call a friend who is a widow today and encourage her.
