Waiting for Jesus

Enjoy daily readings to help you slow down, savour the Christmas season and deepen your relationship with Jesus with the beautiful 25-day Advent devotional from the bestselling author of The Deeply Formed Life.

In the busyness of the holiday season, it’s easy to neglect what really matters: reflecting on the glory of Jesus. We want to pray more – to spend time with God – but the tyranny of the urgent leaves us distracted and depleted.

In this inspiring daily devotional, pastor and bestselling author Rich Villodas guides you through 25 days of reflections, prayers and prompts to help you slow down, connect with God and rediscover peace this Advent season.

Each day in this devotional features a short reflection from Rich, followed by a four-fold rhythm:

• Silence and prayer: Pause for a few moments. Take a breath. Rest.
• Scripture: Read a short passage about the wonder of Jesus.
• Sage wisdom: Read short, inspiring quotes from Christians through the ages.
• Self-reflection: Bring your full self to God and enjoy his presence. Each day offers space for personal reflection, preparing your heart for Jesus’s arrival and culminating in a final devotional on Christmas Day.

As you journey through Advent, reclaim joy and behold the wondrous love of God this Christmas with the Waiting for Jesus daily Advent devotional.
