Are you weary of endless to-do lists, crowded stores, and the pressure to make everything picture-perfect this holiday season? Perhaps you’ve stepped back from the hustle and bustle, only to feel an ache of loneliness or discouragement, wondering why the season doesn’t fill your heart with the happiness it seems to bring to everyone else. This year’s countdown to Christmas invites you to pause and reflect on the hope, joy, and peace found in Jesus, promised centuries before his birth through the prophet Isaiah. These brief devotions explore how God’s perfect plan unfolds through his Son, bringing light to the darkest places and joy to even the weariest hearts. May this be the season when the pressure fades, loneliness lifts, and true joy fills your soul as you focus on Christ and his unshakable promises.
