The beginning of a new year often brings many expectations. New plans, new goals, and new hopes naturally come to mind. Before anything else, however, the most important thing we can do is to begin with faith.
Begin with Faith is a 7 day devotional series created to gently welcome the new year with trust in God’s presence and guidance. Rather than rushing into resolutions or feeling pressured to have everything figured out, this journey invites you to pause, reflect, and start the year grounded in hope, prayer, and confidence in God’s goodness.
Each day focuses on a simple and meaningful truth. Faith reassures the heart. Hope uplifts the spirit. Courage strengthens our steps. Peace steadies us along the way. These reflections are light, encouraging, and deeply rooted in the belief that God is already at work in the days ahead.
As you walk through these seven days, may you be reminded that you do not need to have all the answers. God walks with you into every season, offering grace for each step and strength for every moment.
While this series is often shared at the beginning of the year, it may also be taken at any time when your heart longs for a fresh start, renewed trust, or a gentle return to faith.
May this journey help you move forward with a calm heart, renewed joy, and a deeper trust in God’s faithful presence.
