Day 1: Monday, December 9, 2024
“For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His government and its peace will never end.” — Isaiah 9:6-7 (NLT)
Welcome to Day 1 of your 12-day Advent Journey! My prayer for you as we begin this season of reflection and renewal is that the Prince of Peace, Jesus, meets you right where you are and fills you with His perfect peace from head to toe.
No matter what you’re walking through this season—whether it’s the weight of loss, loneliness, or the pressures that can creep in during the holidays—know this: you are never alone. Jesus is with you. He sees your burdens, He cares deeply for you, and He promises to sustain you.
Today, let’s take a moment to release those heavy loads. Step outside for a peaceful walk, even if it’s just around your neighborhood. As you move, imagine each step as an act of surrender. Speak to Jesus as you walk—tell Him what’s been weighing on your heart. With every breath, release your worries, and invite His peace to fill the spaces where fear, stress, or sadness have taken root.
This is your time to let go and let God. Trust Him to carry what you cannot, and as you move, let the rhythm of your steps remind you that He is in control. Let Him guide you toward a season filled with His unshakable peace.
You are loved, held, and never forgotten by the One who came to bring us everlasting peace.
