About this journey

A journey is a short, themed path through Scripture, one day at a time: a passage to read, a short reflection, a question to journal on and a prayer.

Start at day 1 and go at your own pace — your progress and private journal are saved on this device and synced if you sign in. A “Beta” tag means a pastor has not reviewed the journey yet.

Crossover: Ending the Year with God

In many churches the last night of the year is spent in prayer and praise, crossing over into the new year in God's presence. In the days between Christmas and New Year, look back on God's help, bring him your losses honestly, let go of grudges, and step into the coming year renewed in your commitment to him.
