Raising an Ebenezer

Yearly Review

Israel marked years with feasts and stones of remembrance — 'thus far the LORD has helped us.' A yearly review is that stone: naming grief honestly, gratitude specifically, and hope without pretending.

Your yearly review

Saved privately to your account

Gratitude

Be specific. Names, days, moments.

Grief and loss

Where I grew

Hope for the year ahead

A word for next year

Learn the practice

Till now the LORD has helped us.

1 Samuel 7:12

  • Read back through your journal and prayers before writing anything.
  • Grief and gratitude belong in the same review; skipping either distorts it.
  • Name what God did, not only what you achieved.
  • One theme word for the year ahead is plenty.
