Isaiah 29:16

While our parenting roles change over the years, one constant remains: our call to pray for our children. Speaking words straight from the Bible is a wonderful way to pray God’s will when we don’t know what to say. This reading plan guides us in praying Scripture over our children literally from head to toe—because God longs to bless them in every part of their lives!

This Advent Guide comes from students, faculty, and staff at Belmont University. Advent is that season of waiting that carefully and purposefully helps us to realign our priorities and to glimpse, anew, our place before God. Our humble hope is this guide helps people focus more fully on Jesus Christ through the Advent season.

As we head into the season of Advent, it’s easy to be swept away with all the plans of Christmas, family times, food, and gifts. It's also full of emotions, pain, and loss for many of us. Advent is a season of waiting. Trusting in a good God who holds our times and seasons. Advent. Wait. Hope.

Welcome to your grand adventure! Through these devotions, we will travel around the world exploring truth from God’s Word. Our guides will be friends from the diverse network of OneHope global partners. Their geographic areas may vary, but they are all unified with the purpose of sharing God’s Word. Journey with us on a 30-day tour through the Scriptures!
