Let’s pray:
Father in heaven, we ask that this Advent you would seal deep within our souls the meaning of Your Son’s coming.
Jesus came not to entertain. He came not merely to make a great story.
He came to restore us rebels to our God. Advent is personal.
Draw us closer in these days to the heart of Christ, which is your own heart, and make his first advent, in all its realness and substance, more real in our lives.
In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

About this Plan
The Christmas story is one surprise after another. But sometimes the details become so familiar that they lose their impact. These short prayer devotionals help you to dwell deeply on the most unexpected and significant event in history: that God himself became one of us. Each prayer is written by David Mathis, executive editor for desiringGod.org and pastor at Cities Church in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
