Advent is a season of waiting, but is idle waiting what God wants of us? In preparation for the coming Messiah, we wonder together—what things can’t wait?
We hope this devotional might awaken you to the ways God can’t wait to create hope, peace, joy, and love.
Beginning with the first Sunday in Advent, this daily devotional follows the Revised Common Lectionary for Advent Year A and will invite you to read, reflect, pray, and color your way through the end of the year. This is a great resource for older youth and adults, but parents could also invite children to help them color and embody the weekly active prompts.
Each day in the devotional offers something new, including:
poetic prayers
original visuals inspired by scripture
written reflections
prompts for visual meditation
prompts for journaling
colorable pages
active prompts
