Spiritual Growth in January: printable devotional tracker for your journal

If spiritual growth in January is your goal to kick off the year with momentum, you’re in good company (me too!).

I’m a tried-and-true goal and resolution setter, especially at the start of new year. For me, goals and challenges bring variety into my life and break up the otherwise mundane rinse-and-repeat quality of adulthood.

But creating spiritual growth in January is not all about “goals” in the traditional sense. It’s about starting the year with the intention to let God speak and set the pace.

If you’ve read my devotional on creating SPACE in January, then you know that five key practices I’m embracing this January are silence, prayer, attentiveness, connection and expectation. And because I’m a bullet journaler, I’m always thinking about ways to visualize the pursuit of these practices.

This printable “SPACE Tracker” is one idea! This simple, printable tool will help us stay focused on the five pillars of SPACE: Silence, Prayer, Attentiveness, Connection, and Expectation.

Whether you’re using it as part of your bullet journal or as a standalone resource for spiritual growth in January, the SPACE Tracker is designed to help you reflect on your daily practices and grow into a more peaceful and purposeful January. Let’s dive into how it works and how you can make it your own!

What is the SPACE Tracker and how does it help spiritual growth in January?

The SPACE Tracker is a visual tool designed to help you integrate the five SPACE themes into your daily life:

• Silence: Embrace moments of quiet to let your mind rest.
• Prayer: Intentionally connect with your faith or inner spirituality.
• Attentiveness: Notice the beauty and opportunities around you.
• Connection: Deepen relationships with God, loved ones, and your community.
• Expectation: Cultivate hope and curiosity for the future.

The tracker features a grid layout with space for each day of the month and prompts for each of the SPACE themes. You can use it to reflect on your practices, track your progress, and notice patterns.
