Using a Word of the Year for Growth
How to Grow in the Word of God in 2022
It is important to remember that spiritual growth is not about what you do but about who you are. Your spiritual growth depends on your relationship with Jesus Christ. It is important to be in the Word of God every day and to spend time with Him in prayer.
There are many ways to grow in the Word of God. You can read it daily, memorize verses, or study it with others. But one of the most important things you can do to grow in your faith is praying for others.
Prayer changes everything! It changes us and our circumstances because God answers prayer! And when we pray for others, we are actually praying for ourselves because all people are connected in Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:1-4).
Join our today’s conversation with me, Lisa, and my friends Charlotte, and Melinda, as we talk about the importance of choosing words to help you grow throughout the year. We will give you tips on how to do your life’s assessment in order to select words that resonate with the will of God.
