Peace, Be Still: A 31-Day Christmas Prayer Journal

The holiday season is almost upon us—a time of celebration, family, and joy. But if we’re honest, it can also bring busyness, stress, and a long list of to-dos. In the midst of all the hustle and bustle, how do we keep our focus on Jesus, the true reason for the season?

That’s the heart behind my 31-day prayer journal, Peace, Be Still. Inspired by the prophecy in Isaiah 9:6-7, this journal invites you to slow down, reflect, and experience the peace of Christ in a fresh and meaningful way.

Why Isaiah 9:6-7?

Isaiah’s prophecy is one of the most beautiful and hope-filled passages in the Bible, foretelling the coming of our Savior. In just two verses, it reveals the incredible nature of Jesus through four powerful names:

Wonderful Counselor – He is our guide, offering wisdom and comfort for life’s challenges.
Mighty God – He is our strength and defender, able to handle anything we face.
Everlasting Father – He loves us deeply and eternally, never leaving or forsaking us.
Prince of Peace – He brings calm to our storms and peace to our hearts.

This passage reminds us of who Jesus is and what He brings into our lives—a truth we need, especially during the holidays.

What’s Inside the Journal?

Each day of Peace, Be Still includes:

Scripture Focus: A verse or passage to meditate on.
Thoughtful Prompts: Questions and reflections to help you apply God’s Word to your life.
Prayer Space: Room to pour out your heart and align your thoughts with God’s truth.

Whether you’re using it in your personal quiet time, sharing it with a small group, or gifting it to a loved one, this journal is designed to lead hearts back to Jesus.

**How Peace, Be Still Can Transform Your Season**

This isn’t just a journal—it’s a journey. As you spend time daily in God’s Word, you’ll find yourself:

Gaining clarity and wisdom from the Wonderful Counselor.
Resting in the power and protection of our Mighty God.
Feeling the never-ending love of your Everlasting Father.
Walking in the calm assurance of the Prince of Peace.

Amid the Christmas lights, gatherings, and gift-giving, you’ll discover a greater gift—the peace that only Jesus can bring.

We begin on Monday, December 1st!

Hello ladies! My name is Alicia Bowyer, and I’d love to ... by Alicia Bowyer

📝 I’m Planning for 2026 — Can I Hear Your thoughts?

2026 is almost here and I’m in praying and planning mode.

I’ve been praying lately about what topics would best encourage you—both here on the blog and over on YouTube. I want every teaching, every video, and every Bible study to meet you right where you are in your walk with the Lord.

To help me plan for the months ahead, I created a quick 5-minute survey. It’s simple, and your answers will help me understand things like:

What types of YouTube videos you enjoy most
What Bible study topics would strengthen you right now
Questions you’re wrestling with in your everyday life
What season of life you’re in (optional!)
Ways I can better serve and encourage you

Your voice truly matters to me. Your feedback helps guide my prayer time, my planning, and the direction of future videos and studies.

God’s Word reminds us:
“Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.” (Proverbs 15:22)
I’m inviting you to be part of that “counsel” as I plan what’s next.

If you have a few minutes today, would you fill it out? It would mean so much to me.

Click here to take the survey.

I can’t wait to hear from you and see what’s on your heart. Your feedback truly helps me serve you better, and I’m so grateful you took a few minutes to share your thoughts.

Thank you for being part of this community — it means more than words can say!

Keep walking with the King,

Courtney

So what’s next?

This time of year can feel so noisy — our inboxes fill with endless sales emails and our feeds overflow with promotions coming at us from every direction.

Something peaceful.

I hope this makes it easier for you to grab a study you’ve had your eye on… or tuck a few journals away for the new year… or send one to a friend who could use a little encouragement in her quiet time with the Lord.

These journals were created to help you slow down, breathe, and spend intentional time in God’s Word — especially in seasons when life feels heavy or hurried. If that’s where you are today, I want to gently remind you that God sees you. He is with you. And He delights in meeting you in the secret place.

So if a new journal or Bible study would bless you right now, this is a beautiful time to scoop one up!

JUST VISIT MY ETSY SHOP –> HERE.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for letting me walk beside you as you walk with the Lord. And thank you for supporting my little ministry — it means more than you know.

🤫💡 Bringing Secrets Into the Light (Week 4 – Strengthened in the Secret Place)

God can’t heal what we hide. So many women feel heavy, anxious, or spiritually tired because they’re carrying hidden pain, private thoughts, or unconfessed sin.

In this final week of Strengthened in the Secret Place, we’re talking about what happens when we stop hiding and bring our secrets into God’s light.

In this week’s video, you’ll learn how God brings freedom to our secret thoughts, secret wounds, secret agreements, and secret sins — and how confession opens the door to peace, healing, and restored fellowship with Him.

Join me for Week 4’s video —then pull out your journals and begin!

{If you are reading this in an email or feed – click here to view the video}

Week 4 – Bringing Secrets Into the Light

5 Practical Ways to Bring Secrets into the Light

1. Secret Thoughts.

Write down anxious or negative thoughts, then replace each one with a verse of truth (Philippians 4:8).

2. Secret Wounds.

Write a letter you’ll never send and pour out the pain, the “what I wish I could say,” then pray over it and release it to God. Also, notice your triggers when the wound still gets pressed and bring that pattern to God in prayer for renewal.

3. Secret Agreements (Lies We’ve Believed).

Write a list of lies you’ve quietly agreed with (like I’m not enough). Then, tear it up and rewrite the truth God says about you. Speak those truths out loud in prayer, even if your feelings lag behind.

4. Secret Sins.

Take 10 minutes of quiet to ask the Spirit, “Search me and know me” (Psalm 139:23 – 24). Write down anything He reveals and confess it to God. If needed, seek accountability with a trusted believer to walk in freedom.

5. Secret Overflow (A Life That Shines).

Light a candle each evening in your home and pray for His love to shine through you. Do one hidden act of kindness this week— without recognition—as a way of practicing overflow that comes from the secret place with Him (Matthew 6:4).

Now – let’s get started!

Week 4 – Challenge

Seek out a place of solitude to get alone with God. Stop your work, turn off your phone, the television, music and computer. Be still. Practice the presence of God.

Go outside or find a place in your home, where you can be alone and simply rest and be at peace. Practice the presence of God.

Rest is a need – not a want. Rest is not optional or something we wait to do when we are retired. Rest is a blessing from the Lord, and it requires humility to admit we need it.

I’ll be running a bubble bath and probably taking a much-needed nap this week. Soul care is self-care. So, enjoy it!

Here is this week’s Bible Reading Plan

This Week’s Verses of the Day:

Let’s begin! It’s time to slow down and catch up with God. Light your candle, give thanks to the Lord, then open God’s Word and drink deeply from the living well.

Keep walking with the King,

Really, really good, Courtney. Thank you for pouring into us ... by Rebecca

🎄❤️ When Your Heart Feels Tired Before December Even Begins

If December feels busy before it even begins…
you are not alone.

The weight of the season often starts before the calendar even turns!

Between Thanksgiving preparations, then Christmas decorations, cookie baking, meal planning, holiday shopping, volunteering, school schedules, end of the year work deadlines, and the unspoken pressure to make EVERYTHING PERFECT, many women find their hearts already tired before December even begins.

The anticipation of family gatherings and friendship gatherings and all the “shoulds” can leave little room for rest and reflection.

Recognizing this fatigue is the FIRST STEP toward

slowing down,
making space for what truly matters,
and finding peace amid the busyness.

“There was no room for them in the inn.”
(Luke 2:7)

I don’t want to come to the end of this season and realize
**I made room for everything… BUT Jesus!**

So this December, I want to invite you…
to slow down with me just 5–10 minutes a day.

Peace, Be Still is a simple
31-day Christmas Prayer Journal
created to help you do just that.

You can find it on Amazon HERE!
Or get the printable version
at half price on Etsy HERE!

Each day in December,
we’ll reflect on one of the four names of Jesus from Isaiah 9:6

Each Day Includes:
one Scripture verse
a short reflection
a question to help you apply it
a space to write your prayer.

“For unto us a Child is born… and His name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
(Isaiah 9:6)

Simple.
Doable.
Heart-changing.

Order your copy of Peace, Be Still on Amazon today and get ready to begin on December 1st.

This isn’t about adding one more thing to your list.

This is about returning to the ONE THING that matters most.

Let’s make room for Jesus this Christmas.

Keep walking with the King,

Courtney
