A new year can mean new beginnings and new ways for the Lord to work in us. His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23) so He never fails to give us second and third and fourth chances. I’m praying these things for all my readers as I anticipate all that He can do when we just ask. I pray that you:
1. first and foremost, experience the love of Jesus Christ and accept salvation in His name.
2. have food, clothing, shelter, love, and acceptance.
3. experience good health and a joyful spirit no matter what.
4. desire to live a life of service, kindness, and generosity toward others.
5. make meaningful, life-giving, and faithful relationships.
6. gain the wisdom needed to make decisions and to steward your resources well.
7. care more about things that truly matter.
8. experience the peace that comes only from freedom from sin, a renewed relationship with God, and surrendered daily cares to the Lord (Philippians 4:6-7; Acts 13:39)
9. defy the odds in fulfilling the dreams God has placed on your heart.
10. do things that make you truly and deeply happy.
11. spend more time face-to-face with family and friends.
12. worship, pray, and read the Bible more.
13. ask God for revival in the areas you need it, whether that is relationships, joy, or working with purpose (Psalm 85:4-7).
14. work at your job with all your heart, as if serving the Lord, not people (Colossians 3:23)
15. count every blessing and overflow with gratefulness for what you do have.
16. stop rushing around enough to live in the moment.
17. take risks for a good cause.
18. extend your heart to the lonely, forgotten, and hurting around you.
