Prayer for the New Year

"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning." — Lamentations 3:22-23

A new year is an invitation to new beginnings. It is a time to reflect on the year behind with wisdom, carry forward the lessons learned, and set our hearts on what God has ahead. This prayer helps you commit the coming year into God's hands — your goals, your dreams, your growth, and everything you hope this year will be.

Today I plead the precious blood of Jesus over this year, over my goals, over my dreams, over my growth, and over God's complete direction and blessing.
