About the Book We live in a world of constant noise, pressure, and distraction — a world that lures us to chase after comfort, control, success, or escape. Our hearts get entangled in idols we don’t even realize we’re worshiping: approval, addiction, image, routine. Even when we long to walk closely with Jesus, we often feel distant, stuck, or spiritually dry. Abide: Living Fully Connected to Christ, One Day at a Time is a 52-week devotional journal created to help you break free from the patterns of the world and walk in daily intimacy with God. Rooted in Scripture, fueled by reflection, and structured with grace and purpose, this book is a companion for those who are ready to grow deeper, not just stronger — those who want more than surface faith. Each week centers on a single biblical theme — like abiding, identity, grace, surrender, fear, forgiveness, or hope — and guides you through seven carefully chosen Scriptures that build upon that focus. You won’t just read the Word; you’ll sit with it, wrestle with it, reflect on it, and respond to it. But Abide isn’t just about learning new verses or checking boxes — it’s about making space. Each daily page invites you into meaningful spiritual rhythm: 🕊️ Scripture Reading to meditate on truth - ✍️ Personal reflection with space to journal and process - 💔 Honest confession as you track your struggles and strongholds - 🙏 Focused prayer to help you close the day in intimacy with God - 📖 Memory verse practice to help you hide His Word in your heart At the start of every week, you’ll receive a theme and memory verse to anchor your mind and spirit. At the end of the week, you’ll reflect on what you’ve learned, how you’ve grown, and where you’re still in progress — because abiding in Christ isn’t about perfection; it’s about presence, transformation, and pursuit. Abide is built for the believer who: Wants to get unstuck from spiritual numbness - Is battling secret sin, addiction, or distraction - Longs to memorize Scripture but doesn’t know where to start - Craves more than just going through the motions - Desires a structured but flexible way to meet with God daily - Is ready to trade self-help for spiritual surrender This journey doesn’t require perfection — only your presence. Every page is a fresh invitation to abide: to pause, to listen, to lean into Jesus and let His Spirit do what only He can. You don’t need to be “more disciplined.” You need to be more connected — to truth, to grace, to the living Vine. Whether you’re just starting out or have walked with Jesus for years, Abide will help realign your heart and habits. You’ll see transformation in how you think, pray, fight temptation, and love others. But more importantly, you’ll rediscover what it means to simply be with Jesus — and let Him shape your life from the inside out. Abide is not just a book. It’s a rhythm. A reminder. A re-rooting. And it begins one day at a time.
