The Kid: An Advent Devotional for High SchoolersSample

Our lives can get busy, making it hard to rest. Whether it's because of sports, after-school events, plans with friends, traveling, or just a lot of homework, we often feel overwhelmed and constantly on the go. Even during Christmas break, there can be so much going on! However, Jesus reminds us that He brought peace to the world. That means, in Him, we can find rest.

Amid the hustle and bustle of plans, food preparation, and buying gifts this holiday season, it’s important to take a moment to reflect on the rest offered to us. Jesus invites us to give our burdens and worries to Him. Just as Jesus brought peace to the world, He also brings rest to our world today.

This Christmas, prioritize taking a true break from stress and worry. Pray for rest in your life and those around you, knowing that Jesus loves you and will provide for you.
