Life can often feel like a whirlwind of responsibilities, distractions, and unending demands, leaving little room for reflection and spiritual growth. Enter Strike A Match, the thoughtful debut devotional by Sandy Study that aims to be much more than just a book—it’s an intentional 21-day experience designed to support the soul, refresh the mind, and help rekindle the heart’s connection to God.
With a deep passion for empowering others, Sandy has drawn from her own life’s journey to craft this unique daily devotional. Strike A Match is a heartfelt collection of 21 insights that have been revealed to her over years of personal journaling and faith-driven exploration. Now, for the first time, Sandy is sharing these encouraging insights, offering readers the opportunity to embark on a deeply personal journey of growth, introspection, and potentially renewed faith.
A Light in the Darkness: The Potential of Daily Devotionals
The title Strike A Match is a metaphor rich with meaning. For Sandy, lighting a match symbolizes the act of sparking hope, creating peace, and inviting moments of reflection. Each day of this devotional encourages readers to light a candle during their time of meditation and prayer, setting an atmosphere that may help them focus entirely on the messages woven into the book’s pages. This simple yet profound act can serve as a physical reminder of God’s presence, guiding readers to explore what He might be saying to them personally.
Sandy invites readers to approach this 21-day journey as an intentional time of connection and potential transformation. With carefully curated thoughts, affirmations, and guided journaling exercises, Strike A Match gently challenges individuals to explore their inner thoughts, nurture their spiritual foundation, and deepen their faith in ways they may not have imagined.
As Sandy explains, “You are a light; your devotion time, a guide; and your prayer, a love note to God. Let this time, these 21 days, awaken your senses to what God could be saying uniquely to you.”
