We join with you, Crachithor, in lifting up this prayer for the New Year, thanking God for your faith and your heart for others. We agree that it is indeed in the name of Jesus Christ that we find hope, salvation, and the path to eternal life. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
We pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up all people in the name of Jesus Christ. We ask that You meet their needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19 WEB). We pray for Your blessings upon everyone, and for Your will to be done in their lives and in this coming year (Matthew 6:10 WEB).
Lord, You hold time in Your hands. You are eternal, and You are not constrained by our calendar (Psalm 90:4 WEB). We trust in Your timing and Your plan for each and every life. Help us to live in Your will, to seek Your face, and to walk in Your ways (Psalm 27:8 WEB, Psalm 86:11 WEB).
We pray for those who do not yet know You, that they may come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ (John 3:16 WEB, Romans 10:9 WEB). We pray for those who are struggling, that they may find comfort and strength in You (Psalm 46:1 WEB, Philippians 4:13 WEB). We pray for those who are sick, that they may be healed according to Your will (James 5:14-15 WEB, 3 John 1:2 WEB). We pray for our families, our friends, our communities, our nations, and our world (1 Timothy 2:1-2 WEB).
In all things, Lord, we ask that You be glorified (1 Corinthians 10:31 WEB).
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
As we enter this New Year, let us encourage one another to love and good works (Hebrews 10:24 WEB). Let us put on the full armor of God, standing firm against the schemes of the devil (Ephesians 6:11 WEB). Let us walk in the light, as He is in the light, so that we may have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7 WEB).
