Your One Word
It’s time to choose one word for this year. This process may take some time of praying and reflecting and processing and more praying, so do not feel like you need to rush this step.
A prayer for guidance:
Loving God, you are with and for me, would you open my heart, mind, and soul to hear from you in this? I long to move into the coming year partnering with you for my hopes, dreams, and plans. May your will be done in my life! Lord, would you make clear to me which word YOU are inviting me to focus on for this coming year?
Has a single word risen above the others? Let’s explore more. What does your word really mean? I'm surprised sometimes how I take a word for granted. Grab a dictionary and thesaurus, write out the definition of your word, words that are related to it, synonyms and antonyms. These definitions and words will help us tomorrow as we look into Scripture with our theme words.
Why do you think this is your word for the year ahead? In our time alone with God, let's ponder and ask God to make the connections between this word and this place in our stories.
As you ponder all this with God today, consider asking Him:
Father, how is this word/theme meant for me in next season?
Jesus, would you show me how this word/theme might guide me in the year ahead?
Spirit, would you open my mind and heart to all that this word means to you?
About this Plan
Looking for a fresh start to the new year? What if you invited God to guide you personally and specifically in the year ahead, listening to his heart for you? Through these seven days, we invite you to consider the year behind you, and explore a theme with God for your upcoming year. You’ll want to have a journal ready as you explore the prompts along the journey!
