Preparing for the Holidays

A two-week journey to prepare your heart for Thanksgiving and Christmas — moving from gratitude to glory.
Each day invites you to reflect on God’s goodness, faithfulness, and the joy of Christ’s coming.

Each day invites you to reflect on God’s goodness, faithfulness, and the joy of Christ’s coming.

Each day, pause to reflect or pray through these three questions:
- What is one thing I’m thankful for today?
- How do I see God’s faithfulness in this passage?
- Who is one person I can encourage with this truth?
