Psalm 27:4

ONE WORD helps you simplify your life by focusing on just ONE WORD for the entire year. The simplicity of discovering a word that God has for you makes it a catalyst for life-change. This 4-day devotional shows you how to cut through to the core of your intention for a one word vision for the year.

I’ve discovered something surprising: living for myself is a lot of work. Focusing on how to be the best “me” sounds freeing, but it is actually a crushing weight—because God calls us to know the joy of focusing first on him. I hope this glimpse into my book Free of Me resonates with your own desire to let go of yourself and hold on to God. It’s where we find true freedom!

Many of us want to have a closer relationship with God, but we don’t know where to start. When other people suggest prayer, it feels too formal, intimidating, or ineffectual. This plan will help readers know God more intimately and experience the power of prayer as each day gives tangible examples of how to have more meaningful conversations with God.

Sharon Hodde Miller hat etwas Überraschendes entdeckt: Es bereitet viel Mühe, für sich selbst zu leben. Wenn wir uns darauf fokussieren, die beste Version von uns selbst zu sein, klingt das zunächst befreiend, aber eigentlich baut es sehr viel Druck auf. Gott möchte, dass wir Freude darin finden, zuerst auf Ihn zu schauen. Das ist wahre Freiheit!
