Transformed by His Promisesნიმუში

This 30-day journey is designed to help you break free from a life-interfering behavior/habit by drawing closer to God. Before you begin, take a moment to identify the specific habit that has been interfering with your life and keeps you from living in the freedom that Christ promises. For the next 30 consecutive days, commit to refraining from that habit while practicing the daily disciplines of prayer, gratitude, and reflection (see instructions after completion of Day 1). These simple steps will help you shift your mindset and renew your mind.

PRACTICE GOD’S WAYS TO SEE YOUR LIFE TRANSFORMED

1 Timothy 4:15 (ESV): "Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress."

Mindful Minute: This journey is a journey of practice and rewiring the beautiful mind God created for each of us (or for renewing it, as Paul writes in Romans 12:2).

He created a mind that saves us energy and remembers routine behaviors so we don’t need to reteach them to ourselves each time we do them. Think about how we can drive to and from work and not remember how we even got there and back to our driveway. Think about the routine you do before you go to bed at night. There isn’t much thought put into these things because it’s the perfect energy-saving mechanism designed by our Creator.

When we allow sinful practices to enter our daily routines, those perfect energy-saving pathways are also engaged, except this time, the consequences can be harmful instead of helpful. During this 30-day journey, we will commit to practicing a different way of 30 days is the target for processing our triggers related to any habit or behavior that interferes with living our best life. 30 days is the target, so you may truly see your progress.

You can choose whatever path you believe is best for you after this period, but for these 30 days, we will start practicing our new habits and behaviors for the purpose of seeing progress and feeling how the Holy Spirit will work within you as you move away from destructive behaviors and toward healthy and godly ones.

Prayer: I am committed to practicing, Father. Let your Holy Spirit guide me as I embody integrity with my word to you during these 30 days. I will spend this period focused on your grace, love, and forgiveness. With your help, I will commit to living a life of appreciation for everything good in my life and give thanks to you. Lead me to walk steadily in the path of your Word for these 30 days so that my progress may be evident to me and to all I encounter. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

Daily Instruction: Each day of this journey, you should pray the Lord’s Prayer with intention, write down 10 things you’re grateful for, and reflect on what God shows you through His Word. These simple practices will guide your steps and open your heart to transformation.

Why the Lord's Prayer? The Lord’s Prayer grounds us each day. It reminds us who God is, that His will is greater, and that He provides what we need today. It frees us through forgiveness and strengthens us against temptation. This simple prayer aligns our hearts and minds with truth, grace, and purpose. It is how Jesus taught us to pray. Feel free to use any version of the Lord's Prayer that makes you comfortable. The prayer can be found in Matthew 6:9-13.

Why Reflection and Gratitude? God invites us to meditate on His Word (Joshua 1:8), trusting every promise is true. He also calls us to be thankful in all of our requests to Him (Philippians 4:6), anchoring our hearts in His goodness. Together, these practices create new neural pathways (scientifically supported) to renew our minds (Romans 12:2).
