For some, this time of year is one of the hardest seasons to walk through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">With many lonely, sad, and broken people, the holidays can bring increased feelings of depression and lostness. It\u2019s this time of year that hope is needed most by the brokenhearted and discouraged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Jesus is our hope and when we focus on Him and His Word, we can find the strength and courage needed to face the trials and pain of life one day at a time (1 Timothy 1:1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Our hope in Jesus is the anchor of our souls and He remains sure and steadfast no matter what season you\u2019re in (Hebrews 6:19-20).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Throughout the month, I hope you enjoy reading of the hope you have in Him and the promises He has for you. And I hope you\u2019ll look forward to more reading plans in the new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong><em>Merry Christmas!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">Click below to download the PDF of your free Bible reading plan!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1qrXAX9TkR1gFVn2i2RNaTs2LE1pXV5-l\/view?usp=drive_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download Monthly Bible Reading Plan<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ellagrace.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Dec-Monthly-Reading-List-content-image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-324\" width=\"470\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ellagrace.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Dec-Monthly-Reading-List-content-image.png 940w, https:\/\/ellagrace.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Dec-Monthly-Reading-List-content-image-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/ellagrace.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Dec-Monthly-Reading-List-content-image-768x644.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px\">Want to get more out of the monthly reading plan? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Weekly Devotionals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">There are weekly devotionals posted on Wednesdays here on the blog that focuses on one of the verses from the plan\u2019s reading during that week.
