Have you ever mustered up willpower to make a list of New Year’s resolutions? How long was it before that resolve dissolved?
As we begin this new year, ask God to show you what needs to be changed – added or subtracted – from your life. Then pray for the Holy Spirit to enable you to do exactly what God wants.
If, for example, you feel led to read the Bible regularly, pray for the Lord to draw you to scriptures that strengthen you, spiritually. Or, if you haven’t been attending church services or being part of Christian fellowship, ask God to lead you to a church home.
Each day brings new thoughts and possibilities, especially if you begin the morning with thanks and praise. When you ask God to be present with you, you’ve invited Him into your life. Actually, the Lord is already there, but your response helps you to be aware of His ongoing presence as you purposely include God in every aspect of your life.
May your New Year be blessed In Jesus’ Name!
Amen.
