Zechariah: "Don't be afraid - God has heard your prayer!" Mary: “Don't be afraid - You have favour with God!" Zechariah: "Don't be afraid - God has heard your prayer!" Mary: “Don't be afraid - You have favour with God!"

Joseph: "Don't be afraid - This is God at work!“ Shepherds: "Don't be afraid - This is really good news!" Joseph: "Don't be afraid - This is God at work!“ Shepherds: "Don't be afraid - This is really good news!"

It is frightening when God steps into our days! We are afraid of a God we can not control. It is frightening when God steps into our days! We are afraid of a God we can not control.

When God places His call upon you (Mary) - Say "yes" to His invitation When God invades your cold night with a song - Spread the good news When God places His call upon you (Mary) - Say "yes" to His invitation When God invades your cold night with a song - Spread the good news
