Every new year begins with good intentions, yet many resolutions fade quickly. Scripture reminds us that true direction does not come from ambition but from revelation. When God sets the vision, He also supplies the grace to fulfill it. This post invites believers to pause, listen, and allow God, not culture or pressure, to define the purpose of the year ahead.

2025 tested my faith in ways I never anticipated. Struggles, losses, and disappointments revealed where I had leaned on self rather than God. Yet through it all, God remained faithful. As relationships shifted and comforts faded, Christ became my only source of strength. This reflection shares how difficult seasons refine faith, reveal hearts, and draw us into deeper dependence on God’s Spirit and Word.
