Advent is the four-week season of the church year that precedes Christmas. It is a time when we focus on preparing our hearts and we celebrate the gifts of hope, peace, joy, and love that God has already given us through Christ.

How can we find peace in this chaotic season? Here are 3 suggestions:

• Remember God’s promises.
• Take time to talk with God.
• Think about others.

And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:7, Revised Standard Version
