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 presence 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, hope, and joy He brings.

This week, we focus on joy—the joy Jesus brought when He came to earth and the joy we will experience in fullness when He comes again.
Our passage today, Psalm 16:8–11, is a prayer of trust and safekeeping. As you meditate, you’ll be invited to keep your eyes on God, rest secure in His presence, and remember that lasting joy is found in Him alone.
Take a few quiet moments today to be still and let the Lord fill you with His joy.

Meditation Scripture: Psalm 16:8–11 (NIV)
8 I keep my eyes always on the LORD.
With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure,
10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
nor will you let your faithful one see decay.
11 You make known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
