Preparing Our Hearts for ChristmasSample

Christmas doesn’t always mean joy. It can also be a time of stress and anxiety. But just like any other time of year, we can remember the gift of peace Jesus offers us.

As you prepare for the celebrations, take a moment to seek God’s peace in your heart. Consider starting your day in worship, finding time in the Bible, or praying with others, and asking God to enter into the worries and anxiety you have.

What causes you stress this time of year?

What is something you can do to accept the gift of peace Jesus offers?

Prayer: Dear God, thank you for the gift of your peace. Help me to let go of my anxieties and accept the peace that only you can provide in this, and every, season. Amen.
