Advent Devotional: Day 8
“In peace will I both lie down and sleep; for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.” Psalm 4:8 Rest is difficult when life seems to be pulling you in different directions. When anxiety has your fears in overdrive, rest is missing. Surrender is a word I hear in those moments. But until…
Advent Devotional: Intro to Peace

Advent Devotional: Day 2
“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Hebrews 2:11 ESV We put our hope in so many things—people are a common focus, especially leaders.

Advent Devotional: Day 1
“For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of scriptures we might have hope.” Romans 15:4 ESV The news comes and the anxiety starts. My mind starts racing and the planner in me starts to panic. I learned early in life if I over…
