1. I will start each day in prayer—first for my own walk with God, then for my family, and finally for my ministry.
- Mark 1:35 – “Very early in the morning… Jesus got up… and prayed.”
- Philippians 4:6 – “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer… present your requests to God.”
- 1 Thessalonians 5:17 – “Pray without ceasing.”
2. I will be in the Word daily—first to grow spiritually, then to grow in biblical knowledge for teaching others.
- Psalm 119:105 – “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”
- 2 Timothy 3:16-17 – “All Scripture is God-breathed… so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped.”
- Joshua 1:8 – “Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night…”
3. I will submit my daily plans to the Lord, seeking His priorities before mine so that I remain intentional.
4. I will reach out daily to encourage at least one friend, family member, or volunteer—putting people over tasks.
5. I will teach from and with a Bible, so my students see Scripture as the source and authority of all truth.
6. I will be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.
7. I will maintain a teachable spirit—always open to learning, correction, and fresh ideas.
8. I will be quick to overlook offenses and even quicker to forgive.
9. I will do everything as though I am doing it for the Lord—because I am.
10. I will pass on praise—acknowledging those who helped and ultimately giving glory to God.
11. I will honor rest as a gift from God, not as an afterthought—because rest is part of faithfulness.
12. I will measure success by obedience, not by numbers or applause.
