PBPC Advent Devotional, Week 2 - Friday
Week Two – Peace
Friday
John 14:1, 27
1 'Don't let your hearts be troubled,' Jesus continued. 'Trust God – and trust me too!'…. 27 'I'm leaving you peace. I'm giving you my own peace. It's quite different from what the world gives. Don't let your hearts be troubled, and don't be fearful. '
(translation by NT Wright)
Truly this is a high anxiety season in our city, our country, our world. You are not alone. Name your anxieties and concerns. Speak them aloud to Jesus.
Daily Practice
Write the anxieties you listed above each on a slip of paper. One at a time, clench them in your fist. Squeeze as tight as you can. Then slowly open your fist and release the crumpled slip. Tell Jesus you are releasing this concern to him. Turn your hand over and drop it on the floor. Take all your slips and run them through your paper shredder. They are done! Let your heart be not troubled.
