12 Prayers to Ring in the New Year
 

As we wrap up this past year and welcome the next one, now is a great time to pray and reflect on all we have gone through and learned. Leave the hurts and regrets at Jesus’s feet. Embrace His forgiveness and grace as you prayerfully commit your next year to God.  


 

Father, I have lost focus last year and allowed the past to be a brake on my future. Please help me turn my gaze toward You by forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead. Help me to LEARN from my past but not LIVE there. Amen.
