As we spend the week focusing on drawing near to God this Christmas season, today we’ll explore a fun concept. Every morning is like Christmas morning when you know and walk with God. God is so, so good. And he desires for us to walk in the gifts of his goodness all the days of our lives. May we reorient our thinking so that each morning with God is more exciting than the next as we experience afresh his love and kindness.   Our Scripture for today comes from Lamentations 3:22-23, and today's worship is Morning Song by Steffany Gretzinger. -- Thanks for listening to today’s First15 Podcast. My name is Ryn, and I’m a part of the First15 Team. If you haven’t downloaded our brand new First15 app, click here. One of the new features that you can enjoy when you download the app is our Guided Prayers.   In today’s First15 Podcast, we wanted to give you a preview of a new Guided Prayer titled “Slowing Down with Jesus”  that our friend Paulina Faundez wrote. In the midst of our busy lives, Jesus is inviting us to slow down and rest in him. We don’t need to fill our agendas to impress God or to deserve his love. He wants us to enjoy his peace and to have a meaningful relationship with him. I pray this Guided Prayer helps you to slow down in his presence.
