Family Advent Devotion - Week 2

PEACE

Reader: Today marks the second week of advent anticipating the coming of Christ. Last week, we focused on the HOPE we have in Christ. (Light the first purple candle.) This week we celebrate the PEACE we have in Jesus as our Savior. (Light the second purple candle.) Jesus came to make us complete by saving us from our sin, giving us the gift of spiritual PEACE. We can have PEACE for our future, knowing our souls can never be separated from Him.

Scripture Reading: Isaiah 9:6

Prayer: Father, thank you for giving us the gift of PEACE through your Son, the Prince of Peace. This season, help us to remember the peace we have in Christ. Let us not get distracted by the busyness of the season. Instead, help us to carry your PEACE in our hearts and extend that PEACE to others.

Optional: Sing or listen to the song, “Silent Night.”
