Our Prayer for Your New Year

 

Our Heavenly Father, as we approach a new year with all its opportunities and challenges, we confess our reliance on you and our submission to your plans for our lives.  We are weak but you are strong.  By your Spirit, please mature us to become more like Jesus Christ this year, in attitudes and actions, in words and deeds, in heart and mind.

Through us, please bring your presence more clearly and compellingly to those around us so that they would respond to you with trust and obedience.  Grow our faith and vision so that we would understand what you want us to do, and would desire it more than anything else. Guide us and provide for us so that we would demonstrate walking with you.  Grow our love for you and for those around us so we would please you and honor you.  In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.

“For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.” -Philippians 2:13

“And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Jesus Christ returns.” -Philippians 1:6
