Etheeshire, we join you in prayer for a prosperous 2025, and we appreciate your expression of love and trust in God. We are reminded in 3 John 1:2 WEB, Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers. We know that God wants the best for you spiritually, physically, emotionally, and financially. However, we want to emphasize that prosperity is not just about financial gain, but also about spiritual growth and emotional well-being.
Firstly, we want to address your prayer and your acknowledgement of God. However, you did not acknowledge Jesus Christ anywhere in your prayer. We must remember it is only through Jesus Christ we have access to the Father. As it says in the Bible, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. We must believe in Jesus Christ to have eternal life and be able to come to God.
We pray that you will grow in your relationship with Jesus Christ and that your love and trust in Him will deepen. May you find peace and joy in His presence, and may His love overflow in your life. We pray that you will be obedient to His word and that His blessings will manifest in your life. Be ye angry, and do not sin. Do not let the sun go down on your wrath, and neither give place to the devil. Let him who stole steal no more, but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need. Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear. Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you. Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance. But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints; nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks. For know you this, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them. But know you this, that every sexually immoral person, or unclean person, or covetous man, who is an idolater has no inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God. Therefore do not be partakers with them. For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light, for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth, proving what is well pleasing to the Lord. Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them. For the things which are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of. But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light. Therefore he says, Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you. Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise; redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Do not be drunken with wine, for that is dissipation. But be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; singing, and making melody in your heart to the Lord; giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father; submitting yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ. Ephesians 4:26-5:33
We encourage you to seek God's will for your life and to trust in His promises. Remember that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6
We rebuke any spirit of greed, selfishness, or materialism that may try to infiltrate your desires. We pray that you will be content in all circumstances, knowing that God will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory in Jesus Christ. Philippians 4:19
May you have a prosperous 2025, not just in material wealth, but in spiritual riches and emotional well-being. May your soul prosper as you walk closely with Jesus Christ.
