This Advent season, step into the centuries-old tradition of longing for Jesus to return.
John 1:5 says, "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
Jesus is the light of the world. And he came to rescue his people.
This means the darkness surrounding you is not the end of the story. Instead of darkness, a light has shined. Instead of hopelessness, you can have hope. You can participate with Jesus, acting as a light as you pray with hope, confidence, and power for Jesus to shine his light in the world today.
With The Darkness Cannot Overcome Advent Devotional, you’ll use scripture and ancient prayer practices to pray every day for light to push back darkness in your life and the world.
You can expect to find:
- A “Collect” to start each week – Christians have used this short prayer for centuries to gather their intentions and focus on God before starting their time of worship.
- An optional Candle Prayer – lighting a candle while you pray is an ancient practice that symbolizes the presence and the power of God.
- Guiding Bible verses – each day includes a short verse to encourage you and help you remember the power of the light God offers the world.
- Reflection questions – use these for direction as you pray through each day’s area of focus
Join us this Advent season as we reflect on Jesus, the light of the world, and pray for his transforming power to shine in our lives.
