Spend some time reflecting over last week. What are some things to celebrate from Thanksgiving? Is there anything that was a struggle, or is a prayer need specifically?
How does Jesus’ nearness awaken your zeal for His name personally?
How has God broken your heart for what breaks His? How can you respond in a posture of repentance?
What idols do you need to trade in?
Challenge: Spend time this week making a plan for how you are going to “set aside” or “consecrate” the season of advent. What could you do to make space for God’s Nearness? What needs to be subtracted from your routine, and what should it be replaced with?
