10 Journal Prompts for End-Of-Year Reflection
And just like that, another year has come and gone. For those of us who aren't big journalers, taking time to reflect on our wins, growth, and lessons learned can feel pretty daunting. That's why I'm keeping this year's reflection time simple by just answering the following 10 questions, serving as gentle prompts to explore the highs, lows, and everything in between. You can choose to answer them all at once, take it day by day, or even use them as conversation starters with friends or family — whatever works best for you!

My word or theme for the new year is _________________________.
However you choose to respond to these questions, take a moment to pray and thank God for all the ways He has been present in your life throughout 2023. As you move forward in setting your intentions for 2024, let Ephesians 3:20 be the truth that allows you to dream to the fullest without any limitations!
"Now to him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us— to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen" - Ephesians 3:20-21
