2026 Goals: Simple, Intentional, God-Centered

As we step toward a new year, I’m reminded that transformation doesn’t usually come from doing more—it comes from doing what matters on purpose.

These aren’t loud goals.

They aren’t flashy.

They’re quiet, steady, and deeply powerful.

Here’s what I’m carrying into 2026—and maybe you’ll find yourself here too.

1. Put God First

Not just in words, but in order.

Before the schedule fills.

Before the opinions weigh in.

Before the decisions pile up.

Putting God first means letting Him lead the day, not squeezing Him into it. When God is first, everything else finds its place.

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness…”

2. Read My Bible

Not to rush.

Not to perform.

But to listen.

God still speaks—and His Word is where clarity, correction, comfort, and courage meet us daily. Even a few verses can anchor your entire day.

Consistency matters more than quantity.

3. Hit the Gym

Because this body is a gift.

Movement isn’t punishment—it’s stewardship. Strength, energy, and discipline in the natural help support strength and discipline in the spiritual.

Caring for your body honors the God who dwells within it.

4. Drink Water

Sometimes growth looks very practical.

Hydration reminds me that what I pour into myself matters. Spiritually and physically, dryness leads to exhaustion. Refreshment brings renewal.

Small habits make a big difference.

5. Save Money

Peace and preparation go hand in hand.

Saving isn’t about fear—it’s about wisdom. It’s about being ready to obey God without panic when He opens doors, gives instructions, or calls for generosity.

Provision flows best where discipline lives.

6. Avoid Drama

This one is intentional.

Not everything deserves my attention.

Not every conversation deserves my energy.

Not every reaction deserves a response.

Peace is a boundary—and I’m protecting it.

7. Pray More

Not just when life is heavy—but when life is quiet.

Prayer isn’t a last resort. It’s my first response. It’s how I stay aligned, softened, and sensitive to God’s leading.

Prayer keeps my heart open and my spirit grounded.

A Final Reflection

These goals aren’t about becoming someone new—they’re about becoming more rooted.

More aware.

More intentional.

More aligned with God’s design.

If your goals for this next season feel simple, don’t underestimate them. Simple habits, done faithfully, produce lasting transformation.

One step. One prayer. One day at a time.
