Greet the new year and make your resolutions with these inspirational prayers, written prayerfully and hand-picked for you by the Bible Portal team to encourage and strengthen you.
Prayer for Moving On
Dear Lord,
As the year draws to a close, I pray to find closure in some areas of my life, so that I may move on. Some are grudges, pain, and even my own mistakes. There’s grief and sorrow that will remain for a long time.
But help me remember that trials help build perseverance and character in me – please change me for the better.
Only good abides in You, Lord. You can turn even an evil situation into a good one, just as you intervened in Joseph’s life when he was sold off by his jealous brothers. (Genesis 50:20) How awesome is my God!
I need more faith that goodness will prevail and that You will surely open new, better doors for me. I put my future in Your hands; You are my Deliverer.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
Prayer for a Blessed New Year
Father God,
You always give me the grace to start anew. My new life gained through Jesus is the greatest grace ever. Thank you for loving me endlessly!
In the New Year…
Help me grow more intimate with You in prayer.
Let me become wiser and deeper in Your Word.
Mold me to be more Christ-like in character, speech and action.
May my life be a fragrant offering that glorifies Your name.
Please protect my family and friends; keep us from evil and harm. Bestow abundant blessings as we embark on another year, and let it be filled with faith, hope and love.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
God’s Calling
“Go from your country,
your people and your father’s household
to the land I will show you.”
“I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
“I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.”
– Genesis 12:1-3
Prayer for Change
Dear heavenly Father,
I know it’s time for a change. Give me the courage to keep going, for I am afraid to let go.
I believe that when a door closes, another opens, for You are faithful. But I am assured that no matter what, there is one thing that never changes -Jesus Christ who is the same yesterday, today and forever! Hebrews 13:8
Thank you for holding onto me through the different seasons of my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Prayer to Restore Family
Lord,
Please restore our family and mend our hearts. We wish to find back peace, laughter, security and health that were once there. We are broken in many ways, and need Your intervention.
May Jesus be at the center and head of our home every day. And may we be ever grateful for this beautiful gift of family. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Prayer for a New Beginning
Dear Lord, I am excited for this new year, for it is a fresh beginning. I have put the past behind me, but will always cherish the beautiful memories and hard lessons learned.
I look forward to a future with You as my number one priority. You are the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. Whatever this year might bring, I shall not fear because I know that Your good will is unchanging.
And no matter what happens, I know that I will be OK, because you are with me and love me! In Jesus’ name, Amen.
