Reading With the People of God #8 PeaceNäide

Peace in God’s Forgiveness
Scripture:
1 John 1:9 — "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."
Reflection:
Every year has moments when we fall short, but God’s forgiveness offers us peace. His grace invites us to release guilt and shame, knowing He purifies us through His mercy. Take a moment to reflect:
- What mistakes or sins do you need to release from this past year?
- Where have you experienced God’s grace covering your failures?
Prayer:
Spend some time in honest conversation with God. Confess your sins and struggles from the past year, thank Him for His forgiveness, and ask Him to help you live in the peace of the gospel every day.
Sample Prayer:
Lord, thank You for Your mercy and forgiveness. I lay down the sins and burdens I’ve carried this year and ask You to help me live in the peace of Your grace. Free me from guilt and shame, and teach me to walk in the truth of Your love. Amen.
Pühakiri
About this Plan

Fear touches every life—whether through childhood worries, family anxieties, or mistakes we try to avoid. But Advent invites us to hope for a new reality ruled by peace, not fear. The Son of God entered our broken world to comfort us, overcome fear, and bring lasting peace. May His gospel of peace fill your heart throughout this Advent season! This month’s reading plan follows the lectionary pattern with daily passages from the Psalms, Old Testament, and New Testament, accompanied by Advent devotionals in partnership with 1517.org on the theme of Peace.
