As we enter into another New Year, I wonder if you are having mixed emotions. Maybe you walked alone and your prayers remain unanswered. Maybe you experienced great heights of joy and are anxious if things will go wrong the coming year. But for those in Christ Jesus ,there is lasting hope.

Christ is our Ebenezer. Thus far He led us and the same God will lead us through the valleys and Red Seas that will come our way.

Here are 6 assuring Bible Verses for the New year.

A NEW YEAR PRAYER FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY :

Omnipotent, Omniscient, Most Powerful, and only Living Yahweh God, I come before you with my heart full of worship and thanksgiving.

One year has come to an end and another year has begun.

I pray that I will diligently seek you and find you near this year. Preserve the lives of myself and my loved ones.

Order my steps and be my strength in times of trouble.

Keep my feet from slipping and my eyes from unending tears.

Help me to recommit my life to you, Lord.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me this year as I wait on thee.

When anxieties surround me help me to find comfort in Thy Word.

Help me to remember that You are mightier than the noise of many waters and raging storms.

You are the Lord who hears the cry of the destitute and poor. Hear me when I cry and look unto you in my utmost needs.

Enlarge my territory and may I flourish as a tree planted by the Living Waters. May my roots go deeper even when the Enemy will try to uproot me.

When I lay down to sleep, I pray that my sleep will be deep and sweet. My confidence is in You; therefore, I will not be afraid of any horrible news that may come my way.

I pray that my home will be a shining light and a city on the top of the hill. I pray that my faith will not experience a ship wreck when I am hit with sorrowful times.

Help me to count everything loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ. May my desire be to be found in You, Jesus and declare you publicly.

Help me to redeem my time wisely and work harder in my calling within my relationships, in my ministry, and professional job.

May I speak life to others with my tongue, and I pray that I will be Gospel -focused and not gossip oriented.

The Enemy doesn’t want me to do the needful, so I pray that I will give my tithes in the form of my time, talents, and treasure to You this year without fail.

May I never forget that the warfare is not against my loved ones but against Satan. So help me to put on the full armor of God and be alert against the schemes of the Devil.

All honor, Glory, power, and dominion to You, my Savior, refuge, Protector, and Lord Jesus.

In Jesus Christ most precious and healing name I pray. Amen
