A colleague of mine is doing IVF treatment today - please pray for this to be successful and that soon they will be able to announce a new baby is on the way!

This intergenerational devotional is a daily experience where you will be able to prepare your heart for the arrival of Jesus through reading, prayer, reflection and action. Set aside a time daily to engage in this practice, on your own or alongside some family or friends.
