To Grow This Year
Gracious God,
As I begin a new year, I do so with the confidence that your presence and your peace go with me. No matter what experiences or encounters wait for me in the year ahead, none of them will overwhelm or overcome me with you by my side. Though we will face troubles, you assure us that you have overcome the world on our behalf.
Grant me growth in my faith over the course of the new year. Let my priorities and commitments, together with my management of your gift of time, reflect my desire to develop more as your disciple. Anything that matters in life hinges on my relationship with you, and you promise that when I seek you and your righteousness before everything else, you will take care of everything else. Stretch and strengthen my trust in you this year and keep your kingdom and its success continually on my heart and mind. Let your grace abound in me and yield abundant fruit through me.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Amen! Thank you for these prayers.
You are welcome – glad you find them helpful!
