A great way to start the new year is by praying Scripture. This devotional is a prayer for New Year's based on verses
from Psalm 90, written by Moses.
“Teach us to number
our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom”. Lord, I will need Your wisdom for so many
things in this new year, whether they are related to my health, relationships,
circumstances, or simply life in general.
Help me to seek Your guidance daily and trust You for the outcomes. Help me also to be wise in the use of my
time, staying focused on what is truly important in this life, rather than
being caught up in the priorities of the world.
“Have compassion on
your servants”. Lord, you know my
struggles with pain and problems. You
know how much I can bear. I pray for
your compassion and mercy through any difficult times that lie ahead.
“Satisfy us in the
morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our
days”. Father, as I begin each new day, open my eyes to Your presence
around me. Remind me that no matter how intense my pain or problems may be, I
can rejoice in knowing that You love me and will carry me through all
things. Make me aware of the countless
ways that You show Your love and presence to me each day.
“Make us glad for as
many days as we have seen trouble”.
Lord, You said this world would be full of trials, but to rejoice for
You have overcome the world. Thank you
for the assurance that even if my circumstances or health do not improve in
this life, the glad days of eternal health and happiness are coming soon. Help me persevere until then, and make me
thankful for the blessings and gifts You give now.
“May your deeds be
shown to your servants”. O God, make
me aware of opportunities to display Your glory in the coming year. May I be a testimony to others of Your power
and strength in my weaknesses.
“May the favor of the
Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us”. Lord God, may pleasing You be the greatest desire of my
heart this year. Whatever plans You have
for me to accomplish, I pray that You would bless me through them. Let me remember that no matter what my
limitations are, I can still be used by You and am important to You and Your
kingdom work.
I pray these things in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
