Faith Checkpoint Week 1
Faith Check: Are You Living Anchored or Adrift?
We check our phones. We check our calendars. We even check the weather.
But when was the last time we checked in with our faith?
A Faith Check isn’t about guilt, it’s about realignment.
It’s about asking: Am I drifting with the current of life, or staying anchored in Christ?
Realignment in Scripture
2 Corinthians 13:5 (NIV)
“Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves.”
This verse reminds us that faith isn’t just a label, it’s a lifestyle. When life gets busy, we can slip into autopilot. The storms hit, or even worse, the days just blurred slowly, and we drift. Not because we don’t believe, but because we haven’t paused to anchor.
Hebrews 2:1 (NLT)
“So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it.”
Today’s Faith Check-In
Ask yourself:
- Am I spending more time scrolling or praying?
- What am I trusting to give me peace today?
- Is my reaction to stress rooted in fear or faith?
These aren’t condemnation questions, they’re clarity questions. They help us refocus on truth and redirect our steps.
Faith Anchors to Hold Onto This Week
Psalm 119:105 (NIV)
“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”
Romans 12:2 (NIV)
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
Let God’s Word guide your mindset, your reactions, and your rest. That’s how we stay positively anchored—not just believing in God but living like we trust Him.

Faith Check: Am I Plugged Into God or Just My Phone?
We check our phones more than we check our hearts.
We refresh our feeds, answer every buzz, and chase notifications like they’re urgent.
But when was the last time we refreshed our faith?
A Faith Check isn’t about guilt—it’s about awareness.
It’s a gentle pause to ask:
What’s filling my mind—and what’s feeding my soul?
Psalm 46:10 (NIV)
“Be still, and know that I am God.”
Stillness is hard in a world that values speed. But stillness is where we rediscover who we are and who He is.
You don’t have to earn peace.
You just have to make space for it.
Isaiah 30:15 (NIV)
“In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength…”
God isn’t asking for more hustle.
He’s offering more presence.
Today’s Faith Check-In
Ask yourself:
- Am I more attached to my device than my time with God?
- When I’m overwhelmed, do I turn to scrolling or Scripture?
- Have I created any intentional stillness in my week?
These aren’t shame questions—they’re soul reset questions.
They help us notice what’s competing with God's voice in our lives.
Faith Anchors to Hold Onto This Week
Matthew 11:28 (NIV)
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Colossians 3:2 (NIV)
“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”
This week, let’s make room for the better connection.
Make time to read God's word.
In today’s digital world, technology doesn’t have to be a distraction, it can be a doorway to devotion. E-books, Bible apps, and online devotionals allow us to carry God’s Word in our pocket, ready to refresh our spirit wherever we are. The key is choosing to pause the scroll and open the Scripture, letting truth guide our thoughts in the middle of a tech-heavy world.

Faith Check: Are you the answer to someone's prayers?
Who crossed your path today that could use a simple act of kindness—and how can you be the answer?
We rush through our days, focused on to-do lists, deadlines, and distractions.
But sometimes, the most important moment isn’t in the task—it’s in the pauseto love.
A smile. A kind word. A helping hand. A prayer whispered when no one is watching.
These aren’t extras. They’re Kingdom moments.
Kindness doesn’t require perfection—it just requires presence.
And more often than not, someone nearby is praying for hope…
and God is placing you right in their path to deliver it.
A Faith Check Isn’t About Guilt, It’s About Becoming Aware
It's a chance to ask ourselves:
Who crossed my path today that may have needed encouragement?
Did I make space to be compassionate, or was I too rushed?
Am I willing to be inconvenienced to care for someone else?
When I feel a tug to reach out, do I act—or brush it off?
God often nudges us in the still moments… but we have to be willing to feel them.
Let’s not miss divine opportunities disguised as ordinary interruptions.
Scripture to Anchor Your Heart
Proverbs 3:27 (NIV)
“Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.”
Galatians 6:9-10 (NIV)
“Let us not become weary in doing good… as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people…”
Matthew 5:16 (NIV)
“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Today’s Faith Check-In
Is someone waiting on a kindness I’ve been delaying?
Have I overlooked a divine nudge to text, call, pray, or show up?
Can I do one simple act of kindness today that carries God's love to someone else?
This isn’t about performance—it’s about compassion.
It’s about showing up with your hands open, ready to give what you have.
Because kindness isn’t a random act, it’s a faithful response.
Faith Anchors to Hold Onto This Week
- Kindness is contagious—your courage to care can start a ripple effect.
- You don’t need a platform to make an impact—just a willing heart.
- The Spirit prompts us every day—are we listening?

Faith Checkpoint Week 4
Faith Check: Fresh Starts with God
A new week has begun. New schedules, new plans, new opportunities—and maybe even a little leftover discouragement from last week.
Sometimes we start strong, but other days we struggle. We wake up already behind, distracted in prayer, or unsure where to even begin with God.
Here’s the truth you need to hear today: you can start again.
No matter how off-track you feel in your prayer life or how long it’s been since you’ve opened your Bible, God’s mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22–23).
Realignment in Scripture to Anchor Your Heart
Lamentations 3:22–23 (NIV)
“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
Isaiah 43:19 (NIV)
“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?”
God isn’t waiting for you to have a perfect prayer routine.
He’s waiting for you to simply turn to Him—again and again.
Today’s Faith Check-In
Ask yourself:
- Am I starting my days on autopilot or with intention?
- Have I believed the lie that I’m “too far behind” to reconnect with God?
- What’s one simple way I can invite Him into my week right now?
These questions aren’t here to make you feel guilty, they’re here to remind you that it’s never too late to return.
Faith Anchors to Hold Onto This Week
Psalm 5:3 (NIV)
“In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.”
Philippians 1:6 (NIV)
“…He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
This week, take the pressure off of being perfect. Start small. Start again.
Pray a one-sentence prayer before you even get out of bed. Read one verse. Whisper thanks while you drive.
Every fresh start, no matter how small, anchors your heart back in Him.
Faith Checkpoint Week 5
Faith Check: Are You Running on Empty or Renewed in Christ?
We check our emails. We check our schedules. We even check our to-do lists multiple times a day.
But when was the last time we checked in with our soul?
A Faith Check is about realignment.
It’s about asking: Am I trying to do life on my own strength, or am I letting God restore and refresh me daily?
Realignment in Scripture
Psalm 23:3 (NIV)
“He restores my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.”
This verse reminds us that true renewal doesn’t come from more hustle or checking off more boxes, it comes from time with God.
Isaiah 40:31 (NLT)
“But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.”
When we pause and trust Him, He fills us up with strength and direction we can’t find anywhere else.
Today’s Faith Check-In
Ask yourself:
- Am I spending more time worrying about what’s next than resting in God’s presence?
- Where do I look first for renewal—myself or my Savior?
- Have I allowed busyness to push out quiet moments with Him?
These aren’t condemnation questions; they’re clarity questions. They help us refocus and realign our lives with God’s truth.
Faith Anchors to Hold Onto This Week
Matthew 11:28 (NIV)
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
2 Corinthians 4:16 (NIV)
“Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.”
Let God’s Word guide your thoughts, restore your spirit, and direct your steps. That’s how we live renewed, not just believing in God, but drawing strength from Him every single day.
Faith Checkpoint Week 6
Faith Check: Are You Leaning on God’s Wisdom or Your Own Understanding?
We check directions. We check our calendars. We even check reviews before we buy something.
But when was the last time we checked our source of wisdom?
A Faith Check is about realignment.
It’s about asking: Am I making decisions based on my own understanding, or am I seeking God’s guidance first?
Realignment in Scripture
James 1:5 (NIV)
“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”
This verse reminds us that God’s wisdom is not hidden or reserved for a select few—it’s available to anyone who asks.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
When we pause to seek Him, we exchange uncertainty for clarity and fear for peace.
Today’s Faith Check-In
Ask yourself:
- Do I pray before I plan, or after?
- When I’m unsure, do I seek God’s Word or other people’s opinions first?
- Are my choices shaped more by convenience or by biblical truth?
These aren’t condemnation questions—they’re clarity questions. They help us slow down, listen for God’s voice, and align our steps with His direction.
Faith Anchors to Hold Onto This Week
Proverbs 2:6 (NIV)
“For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.”
Colossians 3:16 (NIV)
“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom…"
Let God’s Word shape your thoughts, guide your decisions, and direct your steps. That’s how we live anchored—not just believing in God, but trusting His wisdom in every detail of our lives.
Faith Checkpoint Week 7
Faith Check:
Are You Leaning on Christ’s Strength or Your Own?
We check our phones. We check our bank accounts. We even check the mirror before we walk out the door.
But when was the last time we checked where our strength is coming from?
A Faith Check is about alignment.
It’s about asking: Am I carrying life in my own strength, or am I depending on Christ to carry me?
Realignment in Scripture
Philippians 4:13 (NIV)
“I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”
Paul’s words remind us that Christ is the source of endurance, not us. The promise is not about never feeling weak—it’s about knowing where to run when we do.
Isaiah 40:29-31 (NIV)
“He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak… but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.”
Our strength runs out. His doesn’t. When we pause to invite Him in, weakness becomes an opportunity for God to show His power.
Today’s Faith Check-In
Ask yourself:
- Where am I trying to carry life in my own strength?
Am I pushing through on my own, or am I stopping to let Christ shoulder the weight with me?
- Have I asked Christ to strengthen me in this season—or am I just trying harder?
Am I striving more, or surrendering more? Sometimes the breakthrough isn’t in doing more, but in releasing control to Him.
- What would it look like to face today’s challenges with His strength instead of mine?
Would it change the way I respond to stress, approach my responsibilities, or love the people around me?
These aren’t condemnation questions, they’re invitation questions. They invite us to stop striving, to breathe, and to realign with Christ’s power working in us.
Faith Anchors to Hold Onto This Week
2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
Psalm 28:7 (NIV)
“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.”
Let God’s strength replace your striving. Lean into His power, trust His presence, and anchor your life in the One who never grows weary.
Faith Checkpoint Week 8
Faith Check: Are You Being Still or Just Staying Busy?
We check our phones. We check our calendars. We even check the news and social media a dozen times a day.
But when was the last time we checked our stillness before God?
A Faith Check is about realignment.
It’s about asking: Am I filling every quiet moment with noise, or am I giving God space to speak?
Realignment in Scripture
Psalm 46:10 (NIV)
“Be still, and know that I am God.”
Stillness isn’t inactivity—it’s trust. When we pause, we’re reminded that God is in control, not us.
Exodus 14:14 (NIV)
“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
Stillness allows us to stop striving and start surrendering.
Today’s Faith Check-In
Ask yourself:
- Do I avoid silence by filling it with distractions?
- Am I afraid of being bored instead of open to God’s presence?
- When decisions weigh heavy, do I first seek God in stillness—or do I rush ahead with my own plan?
These aren’t guilt questions—they’re guiding questions. They help us refocus and find clarity in God’s voice, not our own noise.
Faith Anchors to Hold Onto This Week
Isaiah 30:15 (NIV)
“In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength.”
Lamentations 3:25–26 (NIV)
“The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.”
Stillness isn’t wasted time—it’s where God reveals His plan, restores our hearts, and strengthens our steps.
Faith Checkpoint Week 9
Faith Check: Where’s My Heart?
Ask yourself:
- Am I more focused on being noticed than on serving?
- Do I find it difficult to admit when I’m wrong or to ask for help?
- What would it look like today to put someone else’s needs above my own?
Humility is not about thinking less of yourself—it’s about thinking of yourself less, so you can see others more clearly and reflect Christ more fully.
Realignment in Scripture
- Philippians 2:3–4 (NIV) “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”
- James 4:10 (NIV) “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.”
- 1 Peter 5:6 (NIV) “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.”
These verses remind us that humility positions us for God’s favor. When we lower ourselves, He is faithful to raise us in ways that matter for eternity.
Faith Anchors to Hold Onto This Week
- Remember God’s Timing – When you feel the urge to prove yourself, pause and remind your heart: “God will lift me up in due time” (1 Peter 5:6).
- Celebrate Others – Take a moment each day to encourage or affirm someone else’s efforts, without seeking recognition for your own.
- Choose Listening First – In conversations, practice humility by slowing down, listening deeply, and valuing another’s perspective.
- Pray for a Gentle Spirit – Each morning, ask the Lord to help you approach the day not with pride, but with gentleness and grace.
- Keep Christ as the Focus – When pride creeps in, anchor yourself to the truth that every gift and success comes from Him, not from us.
