Prayer for Hope during the first week of Advent.

Jesus came to earth to give us hope. Jesus is Our Hope. Before Adam and Eve sinned in the garden, God planned to return hope to the world.

Prayer to Prepare for Advent. Pray this as you finish creating your wreath.

As the Christmas season approaches, my family is preparing for Advent. This year, our focus will be on God’s character traits.

Gardens have always been a special place of solace for me. I dreamed of having my own garden.

“It’s time for Game Night!” my daughter yelled. Our monthly game night did not require new games each time.

We wanted our kids to serve from their hearts, not our commands. "Serve from your heart" became our motto.

Compound interest is your money working for you rather than you working for money. The goal is to make your money work for you.

The Lord is a strong fortress. You hear my cries, my sobs in the dark. When I am overwhelmed, You comfort me. Oh Lord, draw me near to You.

You, oh Lord, are El Olam. You are our everlasting God. You never change; no beginning or end.

Lord of Lords and King of Kings, we praise You! Hallelujah to the Lord Almighty!

Christmas is full of hope, faith, joy, and peace. The Advent wreath reminds me of God’s faithfulness throughout every season of life.

As we light the candle of peace, it represents the Angels, God’s messengers. Angels bring God's peace.

Oh, El Elyon, The Lord Most High, You give us joy every day.

Just as the Magi traveled in faith, teach us to step out in faith. When our faith is weak, draw us close to You.

God grew my faith every time we moved on military orders, also known as a PCS. Orders and timelines change frequently.

As we look to Your Second Coming, You give us hope during our waiting.

Waiting is hard. I hate waiting! Waiting for my husband to return from deployment. Waiting for children to arrive for the holidays.

You prepare us for Jesus' Second Coming. You never forsake us.

As the Christmas season quickly approaches, my family prepares for Advent. This year, our focus will be on the people each candle represents
