Scripture teaches us, even exhorts us, to pray with unshakable belief, to open our ears and hear the promises of God, and invite them to dwell deep in our hearts. God wants us to pray these “Prayers of Faith” to anchor our trust in His assurances, knowing that God is always true to His Word. Only then do we pray in ways that abandon ourselves and our cares to God’s loving goodness and divine purposes. May we earnestly desire this for ourselves and the people we are knit together with in God’s family.

Our earthly lives are a journey, and God’s guidance system enables us to avoid many detours along the way. We remain on the best road home when we allow God’s word to be our guidance system through the Holy Spirit.

Advent is more than a countdown to Christmas. It is a season of holy waiting, of longing in the dark for the Light that is coming. We not only look back to the manger, but forward to Christ’s return in glory. Advent trains our hearts to be awake and expectant, anchoring us in the hope of God’s promises. This 25-day plan invites you to slow down, reflect, and rediscover the meaning of Advent. Together we will journey through Scripture, prayer, and meditation, remembering that the coming of Jesus is not sentimental tradition, but a world-shaking reality.
