Advent invites us to slow down, quiet our hearts, and prepare for the coming of Christ.
In this guided Christian meditation, you’ll reflect on Scripture and rest in God’s peace as you anticipate the celebration of Jesus’ birth.

Be Still: Advent Meditations for Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love helps you create space in this busy season to experience the presence of Christ and the peace He brings.

This week, we focus on peace—the peace Jesus came to bring.
Peace with God.
Peace within ourselves.
And peace with one another.

In this meditation, we’ll move slowly through several short passages that remind us of the peace Jesus offers—peace that’s not the absence of trouble but the presence of His Spirit with us in the midst of it.
Take a few quiet moments today to be still and let His peace settle over you.
