Anna’s Song: Devotion That Shapes a Life | Luke 2

What if real spiritual change doesn’t come from more willpower — but from devotion formed over time?

In this message from Luke 2:36–38, John Ciesniewski reflects on the story of Anna the prophet, whose life was shaped by decades of prayer, fasting, and faithful worship. Anna’s song is brief, but her life tells a powerful story: small, daily acts of devotion slowly formed her into someone who recognized Jesus the moment redemption appeared.

This episode invites listeners to rethink New Year’s resolutions and consider a different path — one where prayer, fasting, and attention to God quietly reshape who we are becoming. If you’re longing for lasting spiritual formation, deeper faith, or a renewed sense of purpose, Anna’s story offers a hopeful and practical vision of devotion that endures.
