Day 17 – Naming the Gift
The angel tells Joseph to name the child Jesus, a name that means the Lord saves. In a single word, Joseph’s fears are reframed. What felt like a disaster is revealed as deliverance.
God’s work often enters our lives disguised as disruption. Advent invites us to rename what we fear with faith; to see the hand of salvation where we once saw only loss.
Kingdom Quality: Thoughtful Witness – Seeing God’s redemptive hand in ordinary events.
Prayer: Jesus, help me to see my fears through the lens of your salvation.
Come As You Are Moment: What situation in your life might God be using to reveal his saving work?

About this Plan
Advent is often described as a season of joy—but what if you feel anything but joyful? O Come All Ye Faithless offers an honest journey through the stories of Scripture for those who feel hopeless, joyless, anxious, or lonely. Over twenty-five days, you're invited to slow down, reflect, and encounter the God who meets us where faith feels thin. Each day includes Scripture, a reflection, and a prayer to help you discover that hope grows in silence, joy emerges through surrender, peace is born in trust, and love is revealed in presence—the true invitation of Christmas.
