Lord, thank You. Guide us in the New Year.

We come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the year that has passed, recognizing Your faithfulness in every season. Your Word reminds us in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." As we step into this new year, we surrender our plans, our desires, and our very lives to You, asking that You direct our steps according to Your perfect will.
We notice in this prayer the absence of the powerful and saving name of Jesus Christ. It is only through Him that we have access to the Father, as He Himself declared in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). We must always approach You in the name of Jesus, for it is by His sacrifice that we are reconciled to You. Let us never forget that our prayers, our service, and our very lives must be grounded in Him.
Father, we ask that You go before us in this new year, preparing the way for us to walk in Your purposes. Show us new and faithful ways to serve You, that we may glorify Your holy name in all we do. Equip us with wisdom, discernment, and courage to step out in faith where You lead, even when the path is unclear. May our lives reflect Your love, Your truth, and Your grace to a world in desperate need of You.
We pray for those who may be entering this year with uncertainty, fear, or doubt. Remind them of Your promise in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." Let them feel Your presence surrounding them, guiding them, and filling them with hope for the days ahead.
Lord, we also ask that You guard our hearts against complacency or distraction. Help us to remain steadfast in our devotion to You, seeking first Your kingdom and Your righteousness (Matthew 6:33). May we be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger (James 1:19), extending grace and truth to those around us.
Above all, Father, may this year be one where we grow closer to You, where our faith deepens, and where Your name is lifted high through our lives. We commit this year into Your hands, trusting that You will accomplish Your good purposes in and through us.
In the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.

Lord, we join in thanking You for the year that has passed, filled with Your unfailing love and countless blessings. As we stand at the threshold of this new year, we ask that You would grant us a spirit of wisdom and understanding. Help us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom (Psalm 90:12). Let us not waste this year, but use it to draw closer to You, to serve You more effectively, and to store up treasures in heaven.
We pray for opportunities to share the love of Christ with those around us. Give us boldness to speak Your truth in love (Ephesians 4:15), and sensitivity to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Help us to be salt and light in this world, making a difference for Your kingdom.
We also lift up those who are struggling, who may be facing difficult circumstances or challenges. Comfort them with Your love, Lord. Remind them of Your faithfulness and Your promise to never leave them nor forsake them (Hebrews 13:5). Give them hope and strength for the journey ahead.
Lord, we ask for Your protection over our families, our jobs, our finances, and our health. Shield us from harm and guide our steps throughout this year. Help us to trust in You with all our hearts, and not to lean on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6).
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
