A 4-week journey toward peace, acceptance, and spiritual readiness. This extended guide provides deeper reflections, readings, and journaling prompts.
WEEK 1 – Awareness of Mortality
Daily Reflection:
“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom” (Psalm 90:12).
Pause each morning or evening to reflect:
If this were my last week, what matters most today?
Journaling Prompts: - What would I regret if death came next month?
- Which relationships or conversations are unfinished? - What small joy would I still want to experience this week?
Scripture Readings:
Psalm 39, James 4:13–15 – Life is fleeting; we are but a mist.
Prayer Prompt:
“Lord, help me live aware of my finitude, not in fear, but in wisdom and gratitude.”
WEEK 2 – Letting Go and Detaching
Daily Reflection:
Notice what you cling to—possessions, recognition, control.
Each day, practice loosening your grip.
Journaling Prompts:
- Whom do I still need to forgive
—or ask forgiveness from?
- What possessions or achievements do I cling to as if they define me?
- What could I let go of today that would bring more peace?
Scripture Readings:
Ecclesiastes 7:2, Matthew 6:19–21 – Store up treasures in heaven, not on earth.
Prayer Prompt: “Lord, teach me to hold all things loosely except You.”
WEEK 3 – Facing Death Calmly
Daily Reflection: Take 5 minutes of silence.
Imagine yourself near death—not in fear, but in peace.
What matters? What fades away? What words or truths would comfort you?
Journaling Prompts: - If I knew no one would remember me, would I still live this way?
- What do I hope others receive from my life and presence?
- What comforts me most in imagining my own death?
Scripture Readings:
Luke 12:16–21 (The rich fool), Philippians 1:20–23 – “To live is Christ, to die is gain.” Prayer Prompt: “I came with nothing. I leave with nothing.
What I gave and loved—those things live on in You, Lord.”
WEEK 4 – Living Before God Alone
Daily Reflection: Each day, practice quiet solitude in God’s presence.
Remember that before Him, you are not a role, a title, or an achievement
—you are His child.
Journaling Prompts: - What clutters my heart today that I could release?
- If I stand before God tonight, what would I want to say?
- What brings me the deepest peace about belonging to Christ?
Scripture Readings:
Psalm 23, John 11:25–26 – “I am the resurrection and the life.”
Prayer Prompt:
“Lord, make me ready—not to escape death, but to walk with You through it.”
