Walking With Joy: An Advent Study

DAY 4 OF 5

ABIDING

During Christmastime, there is a lot of nostalgia around the idea of coming home. Home is the place where we are safe, secure, known, and loved. Jesus Christ is our ultimate home. When we make our home with Him or abide with Him, we can more fully experience joy. He keeps us safe and secure. He knows us intimately and loves us way more than we deserve.

Use this simple tool to practice silence and solitude.

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

2- Sit for 5 minutes, abiding in the presence of Father, Son, and Spirit, allowing His joy to fill you.

3- Read John 15:8-11 multiple times. Read until certain words or phrases feel like they’re being ‘highlighted’ for you. Ask God what He might be saying to you.

4- Pray those impressions back to God.

Take a Next Step: How can you share the joy of the Lord with someone else today?

About this Plan

Walking With Joy: An Advent Study

The holidays bring excitement and busyness, sweet moments and chaos, blessing and frustration. In the hustle, bustle, merry, and bright, we’re looking expectantly for perfect presents and serene gatherings. The reality often falls short of our expectations. And that’s why celebrating Advent is an important rhythm for our calendars. Find time for silence and solitude with the Lord so that you can walk with joy this Christmas season.
