I love taking time to reflect, and there’s no better built-in time for reflection than at the turning of a new year. Here are 5 questions I’m asking myself in 2022 that are leading me to reflect on God’s goodness and the work he’s doing in my life. As you ask yourself these questions, remember that you are a whole person and think through every area of your life in your answers (relationally, physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, financially, etc.).

My advice?
Answer these questions in a new notebook (or a new document on your computer like I did) and save this space for these questions year after year. That way you’ll have one space for these questions where you can reflect on the work God has done in your life through the years.

1. What 1-3 words can I use to describe 2021?

2. How did I see God’s faithfulness in 2021?

3. What are some habits that strengthened my life?
What can I do to continue these habits?

4. What are some habits that weakened me or hindered my growth?
Who can I reach out to for help in these areas?

5. At the end of 2022, no matter what happens, where do I want my heart to be?

Remember:
No matter what happens to you this year,
your heart can be at perfect rest because of the work Jesus has done on the cross.
We have peace with God through Christ (Romans 5),
and no event in 2022 can take that away from you!

May God help us to live 2022 for his glory alone!
