7 Steps to Daily Change



Step #1: Daily in God’s Word

“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” –Romans 12:2

“The Bible was never meant to fill us with head knowledge but to change our lives.” –D.L. Moody

Step #2: Daily Give Thanks and Praise

“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” -1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

  • #1 most popular question: “What is God’s will for my life?” That’s up for YOUR discovery!
  • Write 3 things you are grateful for today


Step #3: Daily Pray Without Ceasing

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” –Philippians 4:6

  • What do your requests to God reveal about your priorities, goals, desire, and heart?
  • Do you have a prayer partner?
  • Continually pray Scripture.


Step #4: Daily Confess My Sins and Forgive Others

“Have mercy on me, O God, because of Your unfailing love. Because of Your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins.” –Psalm 51:1

“Forgiveness is giving up my right to hurt you back.” –Dr. Archibald Hart


Step #5: Daily Surrender My All

“So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life- your sleeping, eating, going to work and walking around in life- and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for Him.”–Romans 12:1

Step #6: Daily Listen For God’s Voice

“Be still and know that I am God.” –Psalm 46:10

“I pray that from His glorious, unlimited resources He will empower you with inner strength through His Spirit. Then Christ will make His home in your hearts as you trust in Him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.” –Ephesians 3:16-18
