Peace doesn't come from getting everything under control. Jesus didn't come into perfect circumstances—He came into chaos. Today we're talking about receiving His peace in the middle of the mess, not after we clean it all up.

This Week's Practice: 60-Second Breath Prayer When chaos hits, stop for one minute: Breathe in: "Prince of Peace, meet me here" Breathe out: "I receive Your peace"

Advent is supposed to be about hope, but when you're overwhelmed, hope can feel like one more thing you're failing at. Today we're talking about the truth that changes everything: Hope isn't a feeling we manufacture—it's a Person who meets us in the waiting.

This Week's Practice: Sacred Waiting - Every time you find yourself waiting this week, use it as a prompt to acknowledge Jesus' presence with you.
