Join the 365 Day Seek First Challenge!

A brand-new year is right around the corner, and with it comes a fresh invitation—one that has the power to shape your heart, deepen your faith, and transform your daily life.

In 2026, I want to invite you to join me in the 365 Day Seek First Challenge: a yearlong commitment to seeking the Lord every single day through Scripture, prayer, and reflection.

Not perfectly.
But consistently, intentionally, and expectantly.

Because when we seek Him first, our lives are transformed by His presence.

 

 

🌿 Why Seek the Lord Daily?

We were created for communion with our Creator. We thrive when we draw near to Him—when we slow down long enough to hear His voice, sit with His Word, and let His love shape us.

Daily time in Scripture and prayer anchors us when life feels unsteady, fills us when we feel empty, and keeps us rooted in truth when everything around us is loud and distracting.

But here’s the beautiful thing: you don’t have to figure this out alone.

 

 

📓 The Seek First Journal: Your Daily Companion

Whether you plan to read the entire Bible in a year, dive into devotionals, or focus on specific books of the Bible in 2026, the Seek First Journal is the perfect companion for your daily time with God.

Each daily reflection page gives you a simple, meaningful framework to:

  • Write down what you’re reading
  • Capture your reflections and takeaways
  • Pray in response to what God is showing you
  • List what you're grateful for
  • Set intentions for your day with God at the center

The journal helps you slow down, engage your heart, and truly listen—not just skim the page and move on. It becomes a sacred record of your journey with Jesus, one day at a time.

📖 The Seek First 365 Bible Reading Plan

To help you go even deeper, I’m also inviting you to use the Seek First 365 Bible Reading Plan—available as both a printed version and a digital download.

This isn’t a plan designed to rush you through Scripture or overload you with chapters. Seek First 365 is intentionally crafted to help you linger in God’s Word, reflect deeply, and listen to the Holy Spirit.

Each day includes:

  • A short meditation to prepare your heart
  • A Scripture passage
  • A devotional thought from me (Nicole Smithee, Co-founder of Seek First Resources)
  • Reflection questions
  • A prayer and application prompt

You can complete each day in about 15 minutes, or take more time as you read, journal, and pray at your own pace.

Over the course of the year, you’ll journey through:

  • All four Gospels
  • Four epistles: Romans, 1 Corinthians, Galatians, and James
  • Selections from Psalms and Proverbs

But more importantly, you’ll build life-giving, life-long habits of seeking God daily—habits that shape your mind, strengthen your spirit, and draw your heart closer to His.

🌅 Are You Ready for a Year of Transformation?

Imagine waking up each day in 2026 with purpose.
Imagine opening your Bible, your journal beside you, and knowing you are about to meet with God.
Imagine how different your year could look—how different you could look—after seeking Him first for 365 days.

Not from striving.
Not from pressure.
But from simply showing up and letting Him do what only He can.

So here’s your invitation:

Join the 365 Day Seek First Challenge.
Seek God daily through Scripture, prayer, and reflection.
Let 2026 be the year you draw nearer to Him than ever before.

Let’s seek Him first—together.
