This season of transition is a gift—a chance to let go of what’s holding you back, seek God’s vision for your future, and step into 2025 with hope and purpose. Let’s take a journey of reflection and dreaming together, grounded in Scripture and guided by faith.

Reflecting on 2024: What Worked, What Didn’t, Lessons Learned?

Before we step forward, let’s take a moment to look back. Reflecting on the year isn’t about dwelling on failures or regrets—it’s about learning and growing.

Questions to Ask Yourself

• What did I do right?

• What did I learn?

• Where did I struggle the most?

• Were there moments when I relied on my own strength instead of leaning on God?

• What habits or mindsets held me back?

Scripture Reflection

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!”
— Isaiah 43:18-19

This verse is a powerful reminder that God’s mercies are new every morning. You don’t need to carry the weight of what didn’t work into the new year.

Activate Your Faith Step

Take some time to write down what didn’t work in 2024. What lessons can you take away? Then, surrender it to God in prayer. Ask Him to help you release any guilt, frustration, or regret, and ask Him to remind you of it in the new year – let it be the fire and fuel that make this the year it happens!

Dreaming with God for 2025

Once you’ve released the past, it’s time to dream! Not just any dreams—dreams shaped by God’s vision and purpose for your life.

1. Seek God’s Will

Start by spending time in prayer, asking God to reveal His desires for your year ahead. Remember that His plans for you are always good.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
— Jeremiah 29:11

Activate Your Faith Step

Set aside a quiet time with God to journal your hopes, dreams, and goals. Don’t hold back—let Him guide your heart and vision for 2025.

2. Align Your Dreams with Scripture

As you dream, anchor your goals in God’s Word.

Decide that this year will be different tell yourself this is the year I will do it!

• For health goals:
  “Your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit.”
  — 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

• For relationship goals:
  “Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.”
  — Ephesians 4:2

• For financial goals:

“He who has a slack hand becomes poor, But the hand of the diligent makes rich.”–  Proverbs 10:4

Activate Your Faith Tip

Choose a guiding word and verse for 2025 that reflects the season God is leading you into. Write it down and keep it visible to inspire and encourage you daily.

3. Take Bold Steps in Faith

Dreaming with God means stepping out in faith, even when the path ahead feels uncertain. Hold onto the promise that you will reap with you sow.

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.” – Galatians 6:7-8

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
— Proverbs 3:5-6

Activate Your Faith Tip

Break your dreams into daily, weekly, and monthly actionable steps. If your goal is to deepen your faith, commit to a daily Bible study. If you want to prioritize health, plan weekly workouts and nourishing meals. If your goal is to get out of debt, commit to a budget and monthly financial meeting with your spouse.

Bold faith requires action! 

Looking Back with Gratitude and Forward with Hope

As you reflect on 2024, don’t forget to thank God for His faithfulness through the highs and lows. Gratitude shifts our focus from what went wrong to how He carried us through.

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning.”
— Lamentations 3:22-23

Let this promise encourage you as you step into 2025. His mercy, compassion, and strength are with you every single day.
