We're right there with you, Iambuios, as we step into this new year. It's wonderful to see the joy and hope you're spreading. Let's keep praying together, shall we?
We've been thinking about how each new year is a fresh start, a clean slate. It's a chance to grow more like Jesus, to love more deeply, and to serve more faithfully. So, we're praying for strength, wisdom, and courage for you and for us. We're asking God to help us make the most of every opportunity in 2025, to shine His light in our world, and to bring glory to His name.
We're also praying for peace and joy to fill your life. We're asking God to bless you with good health, to keep you safe, and to guide your steps. We're trusting that He has great plans for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
Let's remember, too, that our ultimate hope is not in the new year, but in the One who never changes. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). So, we'll keep our eyes fixed on Him, no matter what this year brings.
Let's pray together, shall we?
"Dear Lord, we thank You for the gift of this new year. We ask that You would help us to live it in a way that pleases You. We need Your strength to face whatever comes our way, and Your wisdom to know how to respond. We need Your love to fill our hearts and overflow to those around us. We trust in You, Lord, and we know that You will never fail us. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
