making all things new

Father,

We praise you that in an ever changing world, you show us a love that never changes. You have chosen us, made us alive in you  by your gracious and loving hand. Lord, you have been good and kind to us, in the hard things, in the joyous things, in the obstacles and the victories, the heights and the depts. You have been there with us through is all this past year. 

Thank you that you make all things new. Thank you for all that you've allowed into our lives this past year, the good and the hard things, which have reminded us how much we need you and rely on your presence filling us every single day.

We pray for your Spirit to lead us each step of this New Year. Guide our decisions and turn our hearts to deeply desire you above all else. Make us hunger and thirst for you alone! Help us release our tightly held grips on the things to which you’ve said “no,” “not yet,” or “wait.” 

We ask for help to pursue you first, above every dream and desire you’ve put within our hearts. Give us courage and wisdom to pursue your dreams for us and not our own. Empower us as we step out in faith, sustain us as we seek to put your first. 

Amen
