Day 1: Called to Be Planted
Stillness is not laziness — it’s agreeing with God’s timing. Today is about accepting God’s pace and place for you.
1. God plants before He displays
Men often want to be seen before they are rooted. God slows us down so we don’t topple over in the future.Write out where God has you right now — assignments, family, work, ministry, healing. This is your current “plot of ground.”
2. Time belongs to God
We get frustrated because we want harvest speed in a rooting season. God measures growth differently.
3. Micro-Tasks for Today
Pick 2–3.
Evening Reflection
What shifted in me when I accepted God’s pace instead of mine?
Day 2: Time Is God’s Tool
God uses time to mature what He planted. Today we name where we’ve resisted His process.
1. Identify rushed places
Rushing is often unbelief in disguise. If God has a time for everything, I don’t have to force what isn’t due.
2. Cost of resisting time
When we rush, we lose depth. When we wait, we gain roots.
3. Micro-Tasks for Today
Pick 2.
Evening Reflection
Did honoring God’s time make me feel more grounded?
Day 3: The Hidden Work of Roots
Most of God’s best work starts unseen. Today is about embracing what no one claps for.
1. Hidden > Public
Roots grow down before branches grow up. That means long stretches of obedience with no applause.
2. God sees the underground
Because God rewards what’s done in secret, the time you spend in stillness is never wasted.
3. Micro-Tasks for Today
Pick 1–2.
Evening Reflection
How did it feel to let God’s unseen work be enough for today?
Day 4: Slowing the Pace
Stillness is a choice. Today we confront the hurry that keeps roots shallow.
1. What keeps me hurried?
Some of us are addicted to movement because silence makes us face ourselves.
2. Rooted men have margin
Margin is proof I trust God. Busyness is often proof I trust myself.
3. Micro-Tasks for Today
Pick 2.
Evening Reflection
What did I hear or notice when I finally slowed down?
Day 5: Hearing God in Time
Stillness creates clarity. Today we make room to discern what God is actually saying right now.
1. Noise check
Too many voices make it hard to track God’s timing. Stillness is how we re-tune.
2. What is God emphasizing?
God often repeats Himself through Scripture, sermons, wise counsel, and conviction.
3. Micro-Tasks for Today
Pick 1–3.
Evening Reflection
What did I sense God highlighting about my timing or direction?
Day 6: Aligning My Rhythms
Rooted men live by rhythm, not reactions. Today we pull our schedule into agreement with God’s work.
1. What rhythm matches this season?
If God is rooting you, your calendar should show room for Him.
2. Time stewardship
God’s timing + my discipline = fruit over time.
3. Micro-Tasks for Today
Pick 2.
Evening Reflection
Did bringing my schedule into alignment make me feel more rooted?
Day 7: Root Revelation
You slowed down, you listened, you honored time. Today we name what God revealed under the surface.
1. What did God show me?
This is your “root revelation” — the central truth from this week.
2. What now?
Roots are meant to support growth. Time + change in God always calls for action.
3. Micro-Tasks for Today
Finish rooted.
Week 1 Completed
How will I carry stillness into next week?
Bonus: The Rooting Ritual
Do this once this week after Day 3 or Day 5. This is a sacred practice to anchor yourself in God’s timing and identity.
1. Name the Season
Roots grow when we accept the season we’re in — not the one we wish we were in.
2. Identify the Distractions
Anything that pulls you out of stillness is pulling you out of root work.
3. Reassign the Time
Time you free must be replanted in God or it will get stolen again.
4. Speak the Root Declaration
Say it out loud. Agree with God’s timing.
5. Do a Physical Act
Make it tangible so your body remembers.
After the Ritual
What peace or clarity showed up once I agreed with God’s timing?
