At the Threshold of a New Year

We are at the threshold of 2026. As we start to formulate our New Year’s resolutions, let us also consider four personal concerns that could be part of our daily prayer in 2026.

GRATITUDE: “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus (1 Thessalonians 5:18).”

Prayer: “Father, thank you for today. For the joys, the lessons, and the unseen blessings you have given me.”

PROTECTION: “He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart (Psalm 91:4).”

Prayer: “Heavenly Father, watch over my home and my family. Let your presence be our shield.”
GUIDANCE: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6).”

Prayer: God, help me make the right choices. Show me what to do next.”

PEACE: “Be anxious for nothing but in prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7).”

Prayer: “Lord, quiet my heart, ease my burdens, and fill me with hope for tomorrow.”
