Welcome to Light for the Journey!

Grab a cup of coffee ... or Diet Coke in my case ... and let's get started! What materials do you need? A
Bible, pen or pencil, a journal (a spiral notebook is fine) and an open heart. You'll notice the study is divided
into five days along with the section "Power for the Journey." You can complete the study at your own pace
by doing it all in one day, over five days or you can take a week.

The important goal is to keep doing the
study! God will honor your commitment.
Here's the plan:
Mindset for the Journey: Pray, thanking God for His written Word. Ask Him to reveal the unique
Message He has for you in this study. Read the passage listed two or three times. Make a deliberate
choice to fix your thoughts on each word and each phrase as you read it. Don't let your mind wander to
the pile of dirty laundry or the mystery of tonight's dinner menu. Focus only on God's truth and let
everything else fall away. Your mind is set and you ready to begin Day 1.


Day 1. Facts for the Journey: the framework and heart of each week's study
Day 2. Prayer for the Journey: a week-by-week plan for learning to pray simply, effectively,
powerfully.
Day 3. Truth for the Journey: pinpoint the one truth that stood out and impacted you most this
week.
Day 4. Steps for the Journey: make a specific plan to put feet to or apply the truths you have
learned.
Day 5. Reflections on the Journey: examine, evaluate and record thoughts, truths, and life
changes.
Power for the Journey: Our greatest source of power is God's Word - but only if we saturate our lives
with it. Make a plan to memorize Scripture. You may need to start by memorizing one verse per week.

Just start! God will honor your step of obedience.
