PRAY Through Advent #18

P - Pause, Praise, Pray
Pause and acknowledge your need for God. Praise Him that He hears the cries of His people and acts with perfect justice. Pray for humble faith - faith that waits, trusts, and depends fully on Him.

R - Read and Reflect
Read Luke 18 with a focus on verses 6–9, 14, 26–27, 41. Read it in different translations. Reflect on the thread Jesus weaves: persistence over pride, humility over self-righteousness, faith over self-reliance. Salvation is impossible by human effort, but fully possible with God. When Jesus restores sight, He reveals the truth - one that humbles us, glorifies God, and calls us into faithful living.

A - Ask and Be Accountable
Ask God to expose pride, idolatry, or quiet self-dependence in your heart. Be accountable to lay down confidence in yourself and to live with persevering faith that cries out, “Lord, I want to see.”

Y - Yield
Yield your righteousness, your striving, and your blindness to Christ. Receive the grace only He can give. Walk forward with restored sight - humbled, God-glorifying, and faithful until He returns.

True sight begins when we stop centering life on ourselves.

The truth is, it is impossible for us—we cannot save ourselves. But God graciously restores—not our situation, but our salvation.

PRAY Through Advent #17

P — Pause, Praise, Pray
Pause and humble your heart before the Lord. Praise Him for His mercy, healing, and faithful provision. Pray for discernment—to worship the Giver, not the gifts, and to remain anchored in truth as we walk the narrow way.

R — Read and Reflect
Read Luke 17 with emphasis on verses 10, 15–18, 22–24, 33, 37. Reflect on the contrast Jesus reveals: one healed man returned in gratitude while others moved on. Some chase signs, crowds, and promises of awakening, yet Jesus warns us not to run after what flatters or distracts. Where truth is absent, deception gathers—just as vultures gather where there is something to devour.

A — Ask and Be Accountable
Ask God to expose any pull toward false teachers, flattery, or experiences that promise what only He can give. Be accountable to live gratefully and humbly, recognizing that obedience is not earned praise—it is simply faithfulness.

Y — Yield
Yield your desire for spectacle, affirmation, and shortcuts. Surrender fully to Christ alone. Lose your life for His sake, walk the long road (see Matthew 7:13-14) with trust, and remain watchful—worshiping Jesus, not the signs, as you follow Him.

Give thanks. Stay alert. Walk humbly. The way is narrow, the road is long, and Christ is worth it.

PRAY Through Advent #16

P — Pause, Praise, Pray
Pause and allow God to search your heart. Praise Him that He sees beyond appearances and knows our thoughts, desires, and secrets. Pray for humility—to want His approval more than the praise of people.

R — Read and Reflect
Read Luke 16 while giving extra attention to verses 15, 27–31 (after reading in your favorite translation try reading in the Amplified). Reflect on the warning Jesus gives: what the world esteems, God may reject. Possessions, status, and “living your best life now” cannot save. Scripture is sufficient to lead hearts to repentance—yet pride can deafen us even to truth raised from the dead.

A — Ask and Be Accountable
Ask God to expose where faith has quietly shifted to comfort, success, or self-fulfillment. Be accountable to move from head knowledge to heart recognition—using what you have not to elevate yourself, but to bless others and bear witness to Christ.

Y — Yield
Yield your pride, your possessions, and your pursuit of self-actualization. Surrender to a life of other-centered love, grounded in God’s Word. Let Scripture shape your heart, soften your hearing, and direct your life toward eternal good.

Stuff cannot save. Signs cannot persuade a proud heart. But God’s Word—received humbly—leads to life.

PRAY Through Advent #15

P — Pause, Praise, Pray
Pause and take in the heart of the Father. Praise God that He actively seeks the lost and patiently watches for the return of wandering, confused, and broken hearts. Pray for a spirit that responds to His mercy rather than reacting from hurt, pride, or comparison.

R — Read and Reflect
Read Luke 15 with a special focus on verses 7, 10, 21, 24–25, 28, 31–32. Reflect on the contrast Jesus gives us: the Father searches, waits, and runs to restore; the younger son repents and is redeemed; the older son reacts and resists joy. Heaven rejoices not because the lost found their way home—but because the Father never stopped longing for their return. Our sin does not dictate the Father’s response—His love does.

A — Ask and Be Accountable
Ask God to reveal where you may be wandering, delaying repentance, or standing outside the celebration in pride or comparison. Be accountable to respond to grace, not react from feelings. Repent quickly. Celebrate redemption freely. Guard your heart from the evil root of comparison that produces bitter fruit.

Y — Yield
Yield your shame, self-righteousness, and fear of not measuring up. Step into the Father’s embrace and into the joy of restoration. Live as one who has been sought, found, redeemed, and restored—of great worth in the sight of God.

We are all lost at times. But we are never unloved, unseen, or abandoned. The Father seeks. The Father waits. Heaven rejoices.

Repent. Return. Rejoice.

PRAY Through Advent #14

P — Pause, Praise, Pray
Pause and marvel at God’s grace—the invitation has already been prepared. Praise Him that His heart desires none to be lost. Pray for a humble spirit that responds eagerly, not casually, to His call.

R — Read and Reflect
Read Luke 14 with special focus on verses 11, 17, 24, 27, 34–35. Reflect on Jesus’ warning and welcome: those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be lifted. The banquet is ready, yet many refuse the invitation. True disciples carry the cross, follow wholeheartedly, and remain “salty”—alive with passion and purpose.

A — Ask and Be Accountable
Ask God to show you where distractions, pride, or comfort dull your devotion. Be accountable to remember the love you once had and to live with urgency, responding fully to the invitation before you.

Y — Yield
Yield your excuses, your self-importance, and your fear. Come with confidence rooted in Christ and humility shaped by obedience. Take up your cross, follow Him, and live as salt that still flavors the world.

The invitation stands. The table is set. Come humbly. Come boldly. And stay salty.

PRAY Through Advent #13

P — Pause, Praise, Pray
Pause and remember the mercy of God. Praise Him for His patience and compassion—slow to judge, eager to save. Pray with humility, thanking Him for the time He graciously gives for repentance and belief.

R — Read and Reflect
Read Luke 13 with a special focus on verses 2–3, 8–9, 24, 30, 34–35. Reflect on Jesus’ truth: suffering is not always the result of personal sin—it is often the reality of a broken world. Yet His call is urgent: repent and believe. The narrow door is exclusive in truth, yet open to all who come on bended knee. God longs to gather His children, offering time to bear fruit before judgment comes.

A — Ask and Be Accountable
Ask God to reveal where repentance has been delayed or belief has been shallow. Be accountable to respond while there is still time, knowing that even a little faith heals the greatest ailment of all—eternal separation from God.

Y — Yield
Yield your pride, your assumptions, and your timetable to the Lord. Enter through the narrow door with humility and trust. Receive the greatest healing—the salvation of your soul—and live ready in grateful obedience.

God is long-suffering, not willing that any should perish.Come humbly. Repent fully. Believe truly.

The narrow way leads to life.

PRAY Through Advent #12

P — Pause, Praise, Pray
Pause and examine your heart before the Lord. Praise Him that nothing is hidden from His sight and that our security is found in Christ alone. Pray for a pure heart, free from hypocrisy and fear, anchored in eternal truth.

R — Read and Reflect
Read Luke 12 and focus on verses 1–3, 11–12, 15. Reflect on Jesus’ warning: guard against hypocrisy and covetousness. What we cling to reveals what we trust. Life is not measured by possessions, reputation, or control—but by belonging to Christ and relying on the Holy Spirit.

A — Ask and Be Accountable
Ask God to reveal where divided loyalties or hidden compromises exist. Be accountable to live openly, speak truthfully, and trust the Spirit to guide your words when you are tested or called to stand.

Y — Yield
Yield your fears, your desires, and your future to Jesus. Fix your eyes on Him as your greatest possession. Live ready, with an eternal mindset and a laser-focused reliance on Christ alone.

Christ is our greatest treasure. So live watchful, live ready, and live fully reliant on Him.

PRAY Through Advent #11

P — Pause, Praise, Pray
Pause and rest in the generosity of God. Praise Him that He gives not just daily bread, but the greatest gift of all—the Holy Spirit. Pray for a heart that treasures Him above every lesser craving of relief, riches, or recognition.

R — Read and Reflect
Read Luke 11 whole focusing on verses 3–4, 13, 23, 28, 34–35. Reflect on Jesus’ warning and invitation: the Holy Spirit is the richest treasure, while the traps of the world blind and deceive. Light or darkness enters through what we allow our eyes—and hearts—to pursue. The Gospel alone casts out darkness and reveals the truth. Blessed are those who hear God’s Word…and keep it.

A — Ask and Be Accountable
Ask God to examine your desires and expose anything that competes with Him—comfort, money, approval, success. Be accountable to hear, heed, and do His Word. Ask for the Spirit’s discernment so you are not deceived…and do not become a deceiver.

Y — Yield
Yield your appetites, ambitions, and distractions to the work of the Holy Spirit. Surrender daily to His light, rejecting anything that darkens your heart. Choose to stand with Jesus, gather with Him, and walk in obedience to His Word.

The Holy Spirit is the greatest treasure. So hear the Word. Heed the Word. Do the Word—and let the Gospel cast out every form of darkness

PRAY Through Advent #10

P — Pause, Praise, Pray
Pause and breathe in the joy of this truth: your name is written in heaven. Praise God that He gives ears to hear and hearts to believe. Pray for a spirit that rejoices not in accomplishments or power, but in belonging to Christ.

R — Read and Reflect
Read Luke 10, focusing on verses 16, 20–21, 41–42. Reflect on Jesus’ words: don’t rejoice in what you can do—rejoice in what God has done. He reveals truth to the humble, not the self-sufficient. And like Mary at Jesus’ feet, we are invited to choose the one thing necessary: Him. This is the good portion that will never be taken away.

A — Ask and Be Accountable
Ask God to expose any anxious, distracted, or prideful places in your heart—like Martha’s hurried worry or the disciples’ excitement over spiritual power. Be accountable to choose joy in Christ alone and to prioritize His presence over everything else.

Y — Yield
Yield your distractions, your self-importance, and your need to accomplish. Surrender to the gracious will of the Father. Sit at Jesus’ feet, rejoice in His salvation, and let your heart rest in the “good portion” that remains forever.

In this season of preparation—rejoice.
Rejoice that you hear His voice.
Rejoice in the Father’s grace.
Rejoice at the feet of Jesus, choosing the better portion.

PRAY Through Advent #9

P — Pause, Praise, Pray
Pause and consider Jesus’ call to deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow Him. Praise Him that true life is found not in gaining the world, but in giving ourselves fully to Him. Pray for a humble, dependent faith—one that clings to Christ alone.

R — Read and Reflect
Read Luke 9 and focus on verses 23–25, 41, 48 (read in the Amplified version too). Reflect on the clarity Jesus gives: faithlessness is unbelief—evidence of a heart still lost. Yet Jesus reminds us that even faith as small as a mustard seed is enough, because the power rests not in the size of our faith but in the greatness of the One we trust (Luke 17:6). In His kingdom, the least is the greatest, the humble are exalted, and childlike trust is the posture of true discipleship.

A — Ask and Be Accountable
Ask God to expose any areas of unbelief, pride, or self-preservation. Be accountable to repent, believe, and walk daily in surrendered obedience. Ask Him to form in you a faith that does not depend on your strength—nor on “big faith”—but simply trusts the God who performs what He promises.

Y — Yield
Yield your pride, your plans, and your desire for control. Embrace humility, receiving Jesus as the least and serving others as the least. Surrender your life to the Savior who says losing it for His sake is the only way to truly save it.

Repent. Believe. Be humble.
For in Christ’s kingdom, the least is the greatest—and even mustard-seed faith rests in a limitless God.

PRAY Through Advent #8

P — Pause, Praise, Pray
Pause and quiet your heart before the Lord. Praise Him for giving you His Word—seed that brings life when it falls on good soil. Pray for a heart that treasures truth more than the world’s promises.

R — Read and Reflect
Read Luke 8 and highlight verses 15, 18, 21, and 39. Reflect on Jesus’ repeated call: hear the Word and do it. Be careful how you listen—some chase “more” of the world, but Jesus calls us to seek “more” of His Word. Those who listen well gain even deeper understanding; those who don’t lose what little they think they have.

A — Ask and Be Accountable
Ask God to expose distractions, distortions, or teachings that twist Scripture toward earthly gain. Be accountable to hold fast to His Word with an honest and good heart, bearing fruit with patience and obedience.

Y — Yield
Yield your desires, your interpretations, and your habits to the authority of God’s Word. Surrender to the call Jesus gave the healed man: declare how much God has done for you—living proof of a heart transformed by hearing and heeding.

Do you want more of the world—or more of the Word?
How you listen determines what you receive.
