I am so glad you are reading this. I believe God is going to use this study to grow us individually and as a church. What are we doing? We are taking the next 2 weeks to pray, fast and feast on God’s Word and to give ourselves a spiritual reset.

What is a Spiritual Reset?

It is meant to be a time where we turn down the noise of the world and amplify the voice of the Lord. To be a short season where we withdraw from distractions and draw near to the throne of grace. During this time, you will be invited to pray continually, fast regularly and feast on God’s Word consistently.

Who Should Use this Study?

This study is meant for people who have entrusted themselves to Jesus, as Lord of their life. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, this study would not only be tedious but also would likely make little sense to you, as it has been deliberately written to have its participants engaging with God directly. However, if you are reading this and want to be united to Jesus, you can give your life to him right now. Pray a prayer like this:

“Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and that I deserve to be separated from you because of my sin. But I believe you are the son of God and I believe that you died on the cross for sinners like me. I believe you were resurrected, proving you have the power to save sinners like me. Jesus, I give myself to you body, mind and soul. I surrender to your Lordship and I will live for you alone! Amen”

If you prayed that just now, please reach out to me at [e-mail] . I would love to follow up with you and walk you through what it means to be a disciple of Jesus.

How to Use this Study

Set aside at least 30 minutes each day to engage with God’s Word and to pray. This may seem like a lot but with so many distractions in this world, slowing down and resting in Christ is one of the best ways that we can reset our souls. This is written as a morning Bible study with “Live It Out” prompts for that day. But I know some of you night owls will prefer the evening and I will encourage you to then use those prompts for the next day.

Each day you will be directed to:

• Feast on the Word: This is feasting on God’s Word; meditating on it, studying it and thinking through the implications.

• Guided Prayer: There will be a guided prayer that is aimed at helping you to engage the heart of God.

• Live it Out: Put what you are learning into practice by kneading truth into your life.

• Family Discussion (if applicable): Talk through what you are learning with your kids to try to get it down on their level.

• Finally, there will be a short (5-10 min) podcast coming out everyday that will unpack what you are learning and challenge you in your faith. You can find it on our website www.kodiakberean.com/reset , on our Facebook, Instagram or on your podcast feed under Spiritual Reset Kodiak. I really encourage you to listen as they will help draw everything together.

I believe God is willing and wanting to do amazing things in and through you during this reset; let Him! The enemy will do his best to distract your mind, distress your heart, and destroy your joy during this study. DON’T LET HIM! Fight for faith! Don’t let this become a duty you feel guilted into; rather, let it be a life giving delight that you give yourself to. Don’t get down on yourself if you get behind, it happens to all of us. I am praying for
