As we welcome 2025, Living Lutheran shares journal prompts to guide your self-reflection and help you set your faith intentions for the new year.
Is there anything you need to forgive yourself or others for? Write it down so you can move forward in the new year.
What was the most impactful way you connected with your faith this past year?
Take a moment to reflect on 2024. What do you feel energized about from this past year? What drained you? How do you feel about the ways you engaged with your faith?
What did you pray for in 2024? How did you see those prayers answered, and were they answered in the way you expected?
Thoughtfully consider one word to wrap up your relationship with your faith in 2024. Then think of one word to describe the relationship you’d like to have with your faith in 2025.
Think of two goals for 2025—one that is related to your faith and one that is not. Consider ways these goals can relate to each other or work together.
This time next year, how do you hope to be looking back on your faith journey? What do you hope to have accomplished?
Write out your hopes and prayers for the new year.
