Hey, prayer friend, I can't believe Christmas is almost here.

If you've been listening to the Prayers of Rest podcast for a while now,

you might remember that back in 2020, we spent the Advent season praying together through the names of Jesus.

It was an incredible time of unwrapping the beauty of Jesus' many names as we prepared our hearts to celebrate his birth.

And since we just released unwrapping the names of Jesus for kids, I thought it would be fun to re-air some of those Advent episodes so that we can again take time to meditate on the names of Jesus together. Each name we've

selected is also found in the children's book, as well as in the regular Advent devotional

for adults, for families. There's the big people one, and now there is the little kids younger kids picture book version so if you have

children or grandchildren in your life consider inviting them to join you in prayer as we rest in

God's presence together during this Advent season you can also find free printable

coloring ornaments for each name of Jesus to keep the kids engaged

when you go to our website Unwrapping the Names.com. May you grow in awe and wonder as you rest in

our good shepherd, the light of the world, our king of Kings, our precious Jesus, this Advent season.

Welcome to the Prayers of Rest podcast. I'm your host, Asherita. And this episode is brought to you by my Advent

devotional, unwrapping the names of Jesus. I really hope this devotional becomes your springboard

into deeper worship, leading you into new

names that you haven't thought of and new meanings to each name, even beyond what you and I discover

here together in this episode. And just as an aside, I encourage you to dive deeper into each

name significance with singing and journaling and maybe

drawing out a scene that comes to mind as we pray together or whatever else helps you focus your

attention on Jesus. I even put together a Christmas playlist based on the names of Jesus that you can

find at unwrapping the names.com.

I truly hope it serves you well this season.
