Scripture:

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.”

Reading:

Consecration begins with surrender. David’s prayer reminds us that renewal starts in the heart. It’s not

about external rituals but an internal transformation that only God can accomplish. When we ask Him to create a clean heart, we acknowledge our inability to purify ourselves.

This verse invites us to trust God’s creative power. He doesn’t just patch up our brokenness; He creates something new. Renewal is not a one-time event but a daily posture of humility and dependence.

Reflection Question:

What areas of your heart need God’s cleansing today?

Journal Prompt:

Write a prayer asking God to renew your spirit and create a clean heart within you.

Scripture:

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind...”

Reading:

Transformation begins in the mind. The world constantly pressures us to conform to its patterns—success, self-reliance, and instant gratification. But God calls us to a different rhythm: renewal through His Word.

When we allow Scripture to shape our thoughts, our decisions align with His will. This consecration season is an opportunity to detox from worldly influences and immerse ourselves in God’s truth.

Reflection Question:

What worldly patterns have influenced your thinking recently?

Journal Prompt:

List three ways you can renew your mind through God’s Word this week.

Scripture:

“But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength...”

Reading:

Waiting is hard, but it’s holy. Renewal often comes in the waiting room of life. Isaiah reminds us that those who wait on God exchange their weakness for His strength. This is not passive waiting—it’s active trust.

When we slow down and seek Him, He empowers us to soar above life’s challenges. Consecration teaches us that intimacy with God grows in seasons of stillness.

Reflection Question:

How can you practice waiting on God today?

Journal Prompt:

Describe a time when waiting on God brought unexpected strength.

Scripture:

“Abide in me, and I in you...”

Reading:

Intimacy with God is rooted in abiding. Jesus calls us to remain connected like branches to a vine. Apart from Him, we can do nothing. Consecration is not about doing more for God but being more with Him.

Abiding means prioritizing His presence over performance. It’s choosing to linger in prayer, meditate on His Word, and listen for His voice.

Reflection Question:

What does abiding in Christ look like for you today?

Journal Prompt:

Write about one way you will intentionally abide in Him this week.

Scripture (KJV):

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let

your requests be made known unto God...”

Reading:

Anxiety fractures attention and intimacy. Paul invites us to a different path—transferring our cares into prayer, wrapping requests in gratitude, and receiving God’s guarding peace. This peace does not erase problems; it secures our hearts and minds in Christ.

Thanksgiving reorients us to God’s faithful presence. As gratitude rises, fear loses its grip and trust takes root. Peace becomes the environment where intimacy flourishes.

Reflection Question:

Which anxieties will you actively convert into prayer and thanksgiving today?

Journal Prompt:

Write a prayer that names your worries and pairs each with a specific thanksgiving.

Scripture (KJV):

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away;

behold, all things are become new.”

Reading:

Consecration celebrates identity: in Christ you are new. The old no longer defines you—habits, labels, failures, even achievements. Intimacy grows when we live from our newness rather than striving to earn it.

This new creation is both decisive and developing. You are made new, and you are being renewed. Each day is an invitation to align your choices with who you already are in Him.

Reflection Question:

Where are you still living by “old” narratives instead of your new identity in Christ?

Journal Prompt:

Write “I am new in Christ” at the top of your page and list five implications for your thoughts, relationships, and practices.

Scripture (KJV):

“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you...”

Reading:

God’s nearness is promised to seekers. Drawing near involves repentance—clean hands, pure hearts— and intention—making space for God. As you move toward Him, He moves toward you with welcome and presence.

Consecration builds holy habits of approach: small steps of prayer, confession, worship, and obedience.

These steps become pathways of intimacy over time.

Reflection Question:

Which practical step will you take today to “draw near” (confession, worship, quiet, service)?

Journal Prompt:

Confess anything that feels like distance between you and God; then write a simple invitation: “Lord, draw near.”

Scripture: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

Reading:

Priorities shape intimacy. Jesus calls us to seek God’s kingdom first—not as an afterthought but as the center of life. When God is first, everything else finds its proper place.

Consecration is a season to reorder loves. It’s not about neglecting responsibilities but anchoring them in God’s reign. When we seek Him first, provision flows from His wisdom and care.

Reflection Question:

What competes with God’s kingdom for “first place” in your life?

Journal Prompt:

Write a list of your top five priorities and note how each can reflect God’s kingdom.

Scripture: “O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee...”

Reading:

Thirst reveals desire. David’s words echo a longing that only God can satisfy. Spiritual renewal begins when we admit our soul’s dryness and turn to the living water.

Consecration invites us to seek God early—before distractions, before demands. When we start with Him, intimacy deepens and our thirst is quenched.

Reflection Question:

What does your soul thirst for most right now?

Journal Prompt:

Describe what seeking God “early” looks like for you and commit to one practical step tomorrow.

Scripture:

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me...”

Reading:

Consecration calls for surrender of self. Paul’s confession reminds us that life in Christ means death to self- centered living. Our identity is no longer rooted in performance but in His presence.

This truth liberates us from striving. Christ lives in you—His power, His love, His purpose. Renewal flows when we embrace this exchanged life.

Reflection Question:

Where do you struggle to let Christ live through you?

Journal Prompt:

Write a declaration: “Christ lives in me,” and list three areas where you want His life to shine.

Scripture:

“Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”

Reading:

Affections direct actions. Paul urges us to lift our gaze beyond earthly distractions to eternal realities. When our hearts are fixed above, our choices reflect heaven’s values.

Consecration is a time to recalibrate focus. It’s not withdrawal from life but engagement with God’s perspective in every sphere.

Reflection Question:

What earthly concerns most pull your attention away from God?

Journal Prompt:

Write down three “things above” you will meditate on today.

Scripture: “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”

Reading:

God promises Himself to wholehearted seekers. Half-hearted pursuit yields frustration; full surrender opens the door to intimacy. Consecration is an invitation to earnest seeking—through prayer, fasting, and obedience. When we give Him all, we discover He was pursuing us first.

Reflection Question:

What does wholehearted seeking look like for you this week?

Journal Prompt:

Write a prayer committing your whole heart to God today.

Scripture:

“...let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus...”

Reading:

The race of faith requires endurance and focus. Distractions and weights slow us down, but fixing our eyes on Jesus keeps us moving forward.

Consecration helps us lay aside hindrances and renew our gaze. Jesus is both the starting point and the finish line—our strength and our goal.

Reflection Question:

What “weights” do you need to lay aside to run freely?

Journal Prompt:

List two distractions and write how you’ll refocus on Jesus today.

Scripture:

“...ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood...”

Reading:

Identity fuels intimacy. You are chosen, called, and cherished. Consecration reminds us that we belong to God for His purposes—to proclaim His praises and reflect His light.

When we live from this identity, insecurity fades and confidence in Christ grows. Renewal flows from knowing whose we are.

Reflection Question:

How does knowing you are chosen change your perspective today?

Journal Prompt:

Write a declaration of who you are in Christ and thank Him for choosing you.

Scripture:

“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.”

Reading:

God’s Word is a safeguard and a source of intimacy. When Scripture dwells in our hearts, it shapes desires and strengthens obedience.

Consecration is a time to treasure the Word—not just read it, but memorize and meditate until it becomes part of us.

Reflection Question:

Which verse will you commit to memory this week?

Journal Prompt:

Write today’s verse and reflect on how it speaks to your life.

Scripture:

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Reading:

Rest is a gift, not a reward. Jesus invites the weary to Himself—not to a system, but to His presence.

Renewal happens when we exchange burdens for His peace.

Consecration is not about adding pressure but finding rest in surrender. His yoke is easy because He

carries it with us.

Reflection Question:

Where do you need Christ’s rest today?

Journal Prompt:

Write a prayer releasing your burdens to Jesus.

Scripture:

“...to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man...”

Reading:

True strength is internal, not external. Paul prays for believers to be fortified in their inner being by the Spirit’s power. Consecration deepens this inner life.

As Christ dwells in our hearts, roots go deep and love becomes our foundation. Renewal is an inside-out work.

Reflection Question:

What would it look like for you to live from inner strength today?

Journal Prompt:

Write a prayer asking God to strengthen your inner life.

Scripture:

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you...”

Reading:

Jesus offers peace unlike the world’s—steady, unshaken, rooted in His presence. Consecration helps us receive and rest in that peace.

When storms rage, His peace guards our hearts. Intimacy grows when we trust His promise more than our circumstances.

Reflection Question:

Where do you need Christ’s peace to reign today?

Journal Prompt:

Write about a situation where you will choose peace over fear.

Scripture:

“...nothing shall be able to separate us from the love of God...”

Reading:

God’s love is relentless. Neither trouble nor triumph, life nor death, can sever His bond with us.

Consecration celebrates this unbreakable love.

When we grasp His love, intimacy deepens and fear dissolves. Renewal flows from resting in His embrace.

Reflection Question:

What truth about God’s love do you need to hold onto today?

Journal Prompt:

Write a gratitude list for ways God has shown His love recently.

Scripture:

“Be still, and know that I am God...”

Reading:

Stillness is sacred. In a world of hurry, God calls us to pause and recognize His sovereignty. Consecration creates space for silence and awareness.

Knowing God grows in quiet trust. When we stop striving, we start seeing His power and presence.

Reflection Question:

How will you practice stillness today?

Journal Prompt:

Plan a 10-minute silence and write what you sensed afterward.

Scripture:

“...Behold, I make all things new.”

Reading:

God is the ultimate renewer. Consecration points to the day when He will restore all things—but even now, He begins that work in us.

As this journey ends, remember: renewal is ongoing. Keep leaning into His promise of newness every day.

Reflection Question:

What “new thing” is God birthing in you through this consecration?

Journal Prompt:

Write a prayer of commitment to walk in newness beyond these 21 days.
