One Word One Year Faith Journey

ONE WORD FAITH BASED JOURNEY

Whether you’ve selected a ‘Word for the Year’ before, or you’re brand new to the concept, welcome! This One Word One Year Faith Journey is Christian based. This book is a guided journal filled with faith prompts and activities to help you grow in your Christian walk by being intentional with your One Word. The first section of this book walks you through choosing your One Word for the year. Once you’ve selected your One Word, the monthly journal prompts will encourage, challenge, guide, assist and lead you into taking the next steps in your faith journey. These prompts are designed to change your outlook, shift your mindset, nourish your soul and allow God to work through every area of your life. Are you up for the adventure of trusting Him more fully? Are you ready for a year focused on drawing nearer to Him?

This 12 month guided journal is not a New Year’s resolution goal-setting workbook, but instead a guide to direct you closer to God by having a One Word focus. This intentional focus powered by the Spirit’s leading will allow you to make lasting spiritual, mental and even physical changes in your life. This is a yearlong study that can be started anytime. Typically most begin this process every January, but don’t let timing stop you from starting this journey. No matter what month of the year, pick up this guide and start right at the beginning.

The One Word you choose for the year doesn’t hold any power of course, it’s just a simple word. The Almighty God, or the Trinity, (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) is the one who holds all the power and He’s already at work in you, no matter what word you choose. He has the power to not only lead you to choose One Word for the year, but to work through your One Word and redirect you, encourage you, strengthen you, grow you and draw you closer to Him. He does the work. You make the decision to follow, trust and submit to Him as He works in your life.

Choosing One Word to intentionally focus on throughout the year, provides a constant redirect to remember your intentions. A resolution usually leads to frustration and failure. However, focusing on One Word doesn’t show you’ve failed, but continues to ‘show up’ throughout your days and causes you to take notice. Each time you come across your One Word, whether in print, speech or sound, you will find yourself stopping and noticing. That pause will cause you to think, re-adjust, take action and be drawn to God. You can use your One Word as a constant reminder to direct yourself to Him and your One Word intentions all year long, every day, every hour, minute by minute.

You decide how much energy and effort to put into this. You can journal every day or once a month. You can write out thoughts for every prompt, or just for the prompts you want. You can participate in all the activities or just a few. You can hold monthly gatherings with a small group and complete this journey with friends, or privately work through it yourself. You decide.
