Slow Down and Let God In
Dear Friend,
The first week of Advent invites us to slow down and pay attention to what is happening inside us. While the world shouts for speed and productivity, Advent whispers: “Look within. Make room.”
This week, God is not asking you to do more.
He is asking you to be present — to Him, to yourself, to the people around you.
Spiritual Practice of the Week
Three-Minute Stillness
Each day choose one moment to pause:
- Sit quietly.
- Breathe in: “Come, Lord Jesus.”
- Breathe out: “Fill my heart with peace.”
This simple practice softens your spirit and opens space for God to speak.
Prayer for Week 1
Lord, quiet my restless heart.
Teach me to wait with trust and not with fear.
Help me slow down so I may hear Your gentle voice.
Come into my life with Your peace. Amen.
Weekly Challenge
Choose one daily activity to do without hurry — drinking morning coffee, walking to work, preparing dinner.
Let this be your reminder that God works quietly, not in rush.
