If you're like me, you are feeling tension building in the midst of the Christmas season. You want to sit in wonder and awe of what God did on the first Christmas, but you also feel the weights of the world crashing in. If you are feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or stressed, we want to invite you to slow down today and take a few deep breaths with us as we recenter and put Jesus back in focus. 

Journal Questions:

• What is causing you the most stress and overwhelm right now? 
• Where in your day, do you need to focus more on Jesus?
• What scripture do you need to reflect on to help you stay focused on Jesus and not the things of this world? 
• Is there anything in your schedule that you need to say no to in order to create more space and time for encounters with Jesus?

If we aren’t careful, life can leave us depleted and exhausted. The world will promise us rest, but have you noticed that it never fully satisfies you? Today, we will be reminded of where true rest and recovery come from. As we step into the beautiful season of Advent, we want to challenge you to take extra time to be restored so that you can go into this season overflowing with the goodness and love that God has to give you.  

Journal Questions:

• Read Matthew 11:28-30 the Message translation. Who do you need to get away with when you need refreshed? What else stands out to you from this passage?
• Do you tend to wait until you're completely empty to turn to God? If so, how can you turn to Him before that happens? 
• How can you make extra efforts to sit in God’s presence these next four weeks?
