Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Happy New Year! May this be a year of blessings!
Many love to celebrate the turning of the calendar as it represents a fresh start. Missteps, mistakes, bad choices, traumatic events, were last year. Now is a time to make a commitment to change/begin what is within your power. Then pray to God for the grace to make the needed changes, the perseverance to continue, and a commitment to daily prayer.
“Behold, I make all things new.” Then he said, “Write these words down, for they are trustworthy and true.” Revelation 21:5
Maybe you aren’t one for resolutions. Perhaps you have a need to reconcile with God. Are you angry with Him? Is there distrust? Disappointment? Are you feeling unheard in your prayers for marriage and/or family? Are you questioning His love for you? Now is a good time to reconcile with the Lord. Find a quiet space and pour out your feelings to Him. He is a great listener. Do an examination of conscience and acknowledge where you have failed. Allow His mercy to wash over you. Resolve to keep the conversation going.
In the morning let me hear of your mercy, for in you I trust. Show me the path I should walk, for I entrust my life to you. Psalm 143:8
As you welcome the Lord by your side, continue to focus on your marriage starting with your behavior. Share your love, diminish your arguments, snuff out resentments, increase your affirmations, and resolve to be a light for other marriages.
What an amazing start to a new year! Let us pray for one another that we may take the first step and keep moving!
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Prayers of praise, gratitude, and thanksgiving are a wonderful way to start anew. Pass it on!
