Hi friends! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and are enjoying some time to reflect on this year and dream about the future.

This prayer guide will serve to help you do a little bit of both of those things. We will look back on the second half of the year’s book club themes and spend some time in prayer and in God’s Word. The prayer guide also includes an action point for each day and these actions and themes are such that we can carry them into the new year as well. It covers six days, one theme per day – surrender, prayer, discernment, fear and courage, food and faith, and Christmas. There is really no set time or schedule to finish this guide but rather my hope is it acts a tool to help you reflect and move forward in these areas.

Each day is listed below and there is also a printable to download HERE.
