/Amplified Bible/ 

Advent Daily - Day 9

Proverbs 3:5

Trust in the Lord with all your heart;

do not depend on your own understanding.

/The Message/ 

 

Advent Daily - day 8

Isaiah 30:15

Only in returning to me

and resting in me will you be saved.
In quietness and confidence is your strength.

/New Living Translation/

Advent Daily - day 7

1 Corinthians 4:7-8

For who do you know that really knows you, knows your heart? And even if they did, is there anything they would discover in you that you could take credit for? Isn’t everything you have and everything you are sheer gifts from God? So what’s the point of all this comparing and competing? You already have all you need. You already have more access to God than you can handle.

/The Message/

Advent Daily - Day 6

Psalm 4: 6-8

Many, Lord, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?”
    Let the light of your face shine on us. 

 Fill my heart with joy
    when their grain and new wine abound.

In peace I will lie down and sleep,
    for you alone, Lord,
    make me dwell in safety.

/New International Version/

Why is everyone hungry for more? “More, more,” they say.
“More, more.”
I have God’s more-than-enough,
More joy in one ordinary day 

 Than they get in all their shopping sprees.
At day’s end I’m ready for sound sleep,
For you, God, have put my life back together.

/The Message/

Advent Daily - Day 5

Collosians 3:15 

And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. 

For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. 

And always be thankful.

/New Living Translation/

Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other. 

None of this going off and doing your own thing. 

And cultivate thankfulness.

/The Message/

Advent daily - Day 4

Psalm 25: 4-7

Show me how you work, God;
School me in your ways.

Take me by the hand;
Lead me down the path of truth.
You are my Savior, aren’t you?

Mark the milestones of your mercy and love, God;
Rebuild the ancient landmarks!

Forget that I sowed wild oats;
Mark me with your sign of love.
Plan only the best for me, God!

/The Message/

Show me the right path, O Lord;
    point out the road for me to follow.

Lead me by your truth and teach me,
    for you are the God who saves me.
    All day long I put my hope in you. 

 Remember, O Lord, your compassion and unfailing love,
    which you have shown from long ages past.
 Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth.
    Remember me in the light of your unfailing love,
    for you are merciful, O Lord.

/New Living Translation/ 

Advent Daily - Day 3

Send out your light and your truth;

Advent daily - day 1

Here's the photo of my Advent tree with Bible verses for each day between 1st-25th December. 
    

 I'm going pick one every day and focus on its message on a given day. I'll share them here every day, if you'd like to join me in this prayer journey throughout December. Sometimes I'll put different versions of the same verse, as sometimes a given translation add some new meaning to the same verse. 

so here's today's verse  - Psalm 119:18

Open my eyes so I can see

what you show me of your miracle wonders.

/Message/

Open my eyes to see

the wonderful truths in your instructions.

/New Living Translation/

Have a blessed Advent!
