Like Mary, we are invited to surrender our own plans and desires, allowing God to guide us with His perfect wisdom and love. When we trust in His faithfulness, we find freedom from worry and control, knowing He is at work in ways we cannot always see. This Christmas season, may we follow Mary’s example and place our trust fully in the hands of our heavenly Father, so that we shine like the dawn — like the Son of God, the Light of the World.

About this Plan
This 25-day Advent devotional was created from CornerstoneSF's video devotional series, Rise & Shine. With videos every day except Sundays, this devotional invites us to open our hearts and prepare for the coming of Jesus. It will begin broadly and then focus deeply on Mary’s experience, highlighting how her humility, faith, and openness paved the way for Christ’s birth. Through her example, we are encouraged to cultivate a heart ready to receive the Savior, embracing His love and presence in our lives.
