Advent Prayer Guide

This Advent Prayer Guide is designed to give individuals or families a simple, structured way to slow down each day and enter into Advent with reflection, repentance, and hope. Each day you’ll walk through a brief liturgy—opening sentences, confession, assurance, Scripture reading, prayer, and doxology—using the call-and-response cues when praying with others. After the assurance, read the assigned Old and New Testament passages from the reading schedule on the final page, allowing God’s Word to shape your waiting for Christ’s coming. Use the open time in the prayer section to lift up personal needs, family concerns, and intercessions for the church before concluding with the Lord’s Prayer. Whether used alone or with your household, the guide helps you mark time not by the rush of the cultural season but by the story of Christ’s first coming and promised return.
