Joy to the World: An Advent Bible Reading PlanSampel

Read Luke 1:11-17

An angel shows up and tells Zechariah that his prayers have been answered. Zechariah’s response is pure fear.

Pray

Pray that you would target one fear today to ignore. So many times we organize our lives around the stuff we most fear – ask God for boldness today to be bold in one area you typically shrink back from.

Practice

Take some time today and share the fear you have with someone you trust and can confide in. You don’t have to say that much – just share with someone the fears that you face and your determination to not be controlled by them.
