Walking With Joy: An Advent StudySample

JESUS!

In order to walk with joy, we must grow in our understanding of God and His character. In Isaiah 9, the coming Messiah, Jesus, is described as the “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

Use this simple tool for a moment of silence and solitude.

1- Take 10 deep breaths – with each inhale, pray silently “Jesus,” and on the exhale, pray, “You are my joy.”

2- Read the four titles for Jesus in Isaiah 9:6 multiple times. Ask God what He wants to teach you about himself. How do these titles of Jesus help bring joy to your life?

3- Pray those impressions back to God and praise God for His character and His presence with us celebrated through Jesus’ incarnation at Christmas.

Take a Next Step: As you go about your day, pause and be mindful of who Jesus was, and is, and will always be.
