The Power of Intention: Sowing Your Vision for the Future
Dream Boldly, Live Intentionally
Dear Sisterfriend,
The start of a new year is a sacred invitation to pause, reflect, and set intentions for the journey ahead. It’s a chance to dream boldly, live intentionally, and align your actions with God’s divine purpose for your life. Intentions are more than mere resolutions—they are seeds planted in faith, nourished by prayer, and guided by the belief that God is working all things together for your good.
Proverbs 16:3 reminds us, "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans."
This verse speaks to the heart of intentional living. When we entrust our desires and actions to God, He refines our vision and leads us in ways that align with His will. Intentions give us focus—they help us prioritize what truly matters and act with purpose, rather than being swept away by the busyness of life.
As you step into this next new year, begin to ask yourself: What do you want to create, achieve, or experience in the year ahead? Take time to pray over these desires, allowing God to shape your vision. Write them down and be specific, imagining the life you want to cultivate. Whether it’s a new habit, a deeper relationship with God, or a dream you’ve carried in your heart for years, trust that He has placed those desires within you for a reason.
Living intentionally means breaking your vision into small, achievable steps and pursuing them daily. It’s about planting seeds of faith through action, trusting that God will bring the growth in His time. Don’t be afraid of small beginnings—every great accomplishment starts with a single step. Zechariah 4:10 encourages us, "Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin."
Sisterfriend, your life has extraordinary potential when lived with intention. Each day, you have the opportunity to make choices that honor your goals, your faith, and the unique calling God has placed on your life. Embrace the process, even when it feels slow or uncertain. The journey itself is part of God’s plan to grow you into the person He created you to be.
Remember, intentions are not about perfection—they’re about persistence. You will have moments of doubt or setbacks along the way, but keep going. God’s grace is sufficient, and His strength will sustain you. Stay connected to Him through prayer, allowing His wisdom to guide your steps and His peace to anchor your heart.
This is your year to dream boldly, to live purposefully, and to see the fruits of your intentions unfold in ways that glorify God. You are capable, equipped, and deeply loved. Trust in His promises and take action with faith, knowing that He is with you every step of the way.
With clarity, courage, and love,
Grace
