The old has gone, the new is here!

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: the old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5 Loving Father in heaven, I am so thankful to have your promises, hope and encouragement because I know it is impossible to change what I need to change in my life on my own. I need you, O Lord, help me be a new creation in your Son, Jesus. Help me start the new year with your guidance, wisdom and strength. Help me remember that you alone know what your plans for me will be this year and only you can give me the strength and the wisdom I will need to meet any challenges. Help me put off my old way of life and shine for you this year, to be your hands and feet and be a blessing to others. May your merciful blessings and grace be upon me, my family and loved ones each and everyday as we put our faith and hope in you, I pray in the name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus. Amen

Show me your ways, O God, guide me in the ways I should choose this coming year, teach me to be humble and do what is right in your eyes and not the eyes of the world. Help me keep my eyes focused on you and put all my hope and trust in you always, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Psalm 46:1-3 Thank you merciful Lord in heaven for your promises, your protection and for always watching over me. Keep reminding me that I should not live my life in fear, but trust completely in you, O God, regardless of what happens, let me keep my eyes on you and remember your promises so that I will be at peace knowing that you will always be my help, my refuge and strength, I pray in Jesus' name.

Create in me a pure heart, O God

A Savior has been born to you

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.

Luke 2 :10-12 Sovereign Lord, we can't ever thank you enough for the good news of the birth of our Savior, we thank you that the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.

But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.

The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.” Luke 1:30-33 Merciful God, I want to find favor in your sight, I want to be obedient to your will and trust in you even when I don't' understand, just as Mary did.
