Advent Devotional – 12.13.2021
Margaret Jones
Jeremiah 29:11 “for I know the plans I have for you” declares the LORD “plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
After 28 years of marriage, I made an agonizing decision to get a divorce. I had not worked full-time since I married, and struggled with how I would support myself. Looking back, my prospects seemed scary. Luckily, I had the support of a wonderful church family and a strong Bible Study group, which provided me with the Word of God. A strong faith community can provide us with people who can ease our burdens, share our joys, and can help us reach our highest potential.
Dear God, help us to feel your presence with us in difficult times. Guide us as we seek to nurture and maintain hope in you. Amen
