Advent 2026: Be Available

Bonding with God is not an all-or-nothing endeavor. Intentional time set aside for bonding is one of the best gifts we can give anyone, especially God. Open yourself up to God in deeper ways. Regularly and intentionally make space in your life for listening to God at home, at work and with others. Enjoy time spent alone with God in quiet reflection.

Activities

  • Take a walk today in silence; and share that time with God.
  • Spend another 15 minutes in silence today – turn off all your devices and give yourself that time to listen to God.
  • Slowly read Psalm 139:1-18 – pause after every few verses and think about what God is saying to you.
  • Walk and look for God in nature – notice His beautiful world and give Him the glory.
  • Sit by a window and listen to music that connects you to the power and majesty of God. In those moments have a conversation with God.
  • While doing a task, turn off any background noise and continue the task by offering it to God. Be in the present, doing what you are doing with a listening heart. Notice what distracts you and talk to God about it.
