Heavenly Father,
thank You for making all things new. Thank You for the lessons, challenges, and joys of the past year, which remind us of our constant need for Your presence and grace.

Lord, we pray for Your Spirit to lead us each step of this New Year. Guide our decisions, turn our hearts fully toward You, and give us a desire above all else to seek You first. Open the doors that You would have us walk through, and close the ones that would hinder our growth. Teach us to release our grip on the things to which You say “no,” “not yet,” or “wait.”

Lord Jesus Christ,
draw us close to Yourself. Lead us in paths of righteousness, strengthen our faith, and shape our hearts to follow You with wholehearted devotion. May we pursue You above every dream and desire You have placed within us.

Holy Spirit,
empower us to live fully for God’s glory, guiding each step and refining our desires so that our lives may reflect the healing and love of our Father.

We trust You—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit--
to restore, guide, and sustain us.
Amen.

I wish you a blessed day,

​With Love,
Rev. Frank
