Future Gazing with God
The PDF "Future Gazing with God" is a devotional workbook created by Dr. Tabatha Barber and the Fast To Faith team for women seeking holistic health transformation through a faith‑centered practice. It introduces the concept of "Future Gazing" – a guided process of moving thoughts from the mind onto paper, then reframing them through God’s perspective. The workbook walks readers through four core activities: (1) answering Future Self prompts that explore emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual aspirations; (2) writing and reciting Positive Self‑Declarations to replace negative self‑talk; (3) setting small, attainable goals, celebrating incremental and milestone wins, and using self‑compassion during setbacks; and (4) maintaining a Daily Gratitude journal. Throughout, the tone is encouraging, gentle, and spiritually supportive, emphasizing that healing requires love, intention, and surrender to God. The material combines reflective questions, blank spaces for writing, and practical tips, aiming to align thoughts, choices, and actions with the woman God created the reader to be, thereby fostering emotional resilience, healthier habits, and a clearer sense of purpose.
