What has God been teaching you in 2025? Where is He calling you to grow in the year ahead? How might He be inviting you to participate more fully in His kingdom work?

Reflecting is about pausing long enough to hear God’s voice, to realign our hearts with His purposes, and to step forward with renewed faith and intentionality. why does biblical reflection matter? Unlike secular goal-setting that focuses on self-improvement, Christian reflection centers on God’s work in us and through us. When we reflect through the lens of Scripture, we’re not just looking backward or forward—we’re looking upward, asking God to reveal His perspective on our lives and His plans for us. Have a healthy reflection on the year that is past, and consideration of the opportunities he has for us in the year ahead.

Read Bible stories with your family, memorize verses with actions, pray daily, help others, be kind peacemakers, and serve at church, turning faith into exciting, tangible goals using crafts, games, and family time to make it stick! Memory Verse Challenge: Learn a new, short Bible verse each month using hand motions or songs, displaying it on a family board. Bible Story Time: Pick a children’s Bible and read a story together weekly, discussing what was learned about God. Daily Prayer Jar: Write down prayer requests (for self, family, friends, the world) and draw one to pray for each day. Pray with Your Family: Start with the Lord’s Prayer or grace before meals, showing kids prayer is normal and accessible. For more resolutions click HERE!

  1. Start your day with a life-giving Bible verse.
