For every new year of baseball, football, or any other sport or season, there is always a feeling of anticipation in the air. The same holds true for blogging and internet marketing. As 2017 draws to a close and 2018 becomes the new year, we all have a strong desire to make blogging changes for the better.
So here it is—a prayer for the new year. May your blogs attract subscribers and keep them coming back for more. May your reader’s post with honesty and your commenters be generous; may you have time to write what you love and make a living doing it. Let this be a year of writing that matters, that’s a joy to read, that speaks to the hearts of readers, and that brings glory to God. Amen.

Dear God,
We come to you with thanksgiving for all that we have received in the past year. We pray for your guidance as we live into this new year.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Almighty God, in whom we live and move and have our being: We thank you for the blessings of the past year, and we pray that you will guide us as we face the challenges of the coming year. We ask your blessing upon all those who have helped us throughout this past year, especially our families and friends. May your love be with them always, even as we are united in prayer to you. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen
Dear God,
We come to you at the beginning of a new year and ask that you guide us in our lives.
We know that you love us and we thank you for your blessings.
Please help us with our many needs: health, relationships, finances, employment and spiritual growth.
Help us to be the people we would like to be; people who are kind and loving, generous and forgiving.
Give us patience and understanding so that we can get along with each other better. Help us be more tolerant towards those who do not share our beliefs or traditions.
May this be an exciting year for all of us as we look forward to what you have in store for us! In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen
Dear Lord,
We come before you today to ask for your guidance and protection as we enter into a new year. We humbly ask that you would open our hearts and minds to receive your messages of love and healing for our lives.
We pray that all of us may work together toward the creation of a more just and loving world, where peace reigns and where there is no hunger or want, where children are protected from harm, where people live in harmony with each other and with all of creation.
We thank you for all the blessings that you have bestowed upon us during the past year and we ask that they continue throughout this new year. We especially thank you for your forgiveness and healing which has helped us and so many others through difficult times. We pray that this healing will continue throughout our lives as we strive to become better persons on every level: physically, emotionally, socially, intellectually, spiritually and psychologically.
We ask that you would continue to guide us through all our activities so that they will reflect your love for all people – both those who are close to us in our families or friends as well as those who may be far away from us geographically but yet still need our prayers at this time of year when many are turning their thoughts toward
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Amen.
Lord, thank You for the amazing year that has just passed. Thank you for the blessings and for watching over us. Thank you for strengthening us when we were weak and giving us peace when we were anxious.
Dear Lord, thank You for the amazing year that has just passed. Thank you for the blessings and for watching over us. Thank you for strengthening us when we were weak, and giving us peace when we were anxious.
And now as we roll into a new year, we are asking You to continue to guide our steps and shape our lives in ways that are pleasing to You. We pray that You would provide peace and calmness through this time of transition as we move forward into what will be an exciting new year! We know that no matter what kind of challenges come our way—whether they’re big or small—You can help us face them head on if only we ask You first (and then seek Your guidance throughout).
We pray these things in Jesus’ name—a very Merry Christmas everyone!
We know that You are a good God and that You have our best interests at heart. In Your kindness and goodness, help me to be comforted, strengthened and filled with faith as I wait on You in this new year, Father.
Dear God,
We know that You are a good God and that You have our best interests at heart. In Your kindness and goodness, help me to be comforted, strengthened and filled with faith as I wait on You in this new year, Father.
The Bible tells us that “those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint” (Isaiah 40:31).
The Bible tells us that “those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint” (Isaiah 40:31).
In this new year, may we all find hope in our Savior to renew our strength? May we focus on what is important, have faith in His plan for us, and look forward with hope for what He has planned for us this coming year!
As we enter into a new season of our lives, fill us with hope for the future. Help each one of us to have faith in You and to trust that You will make all things beautiful in Your perfect time.
As we enter into a new season of our lives, fill us with hope for the future. Help each one of us to have faith in You and to trust that You will make all things beautiful in Your perfect time.
Don’t take anything for granted. Be grateful for what you have now and look forward to what is yet to come. Pray for others who are struggling through hard times or need encouragement themselves. Know that even when it seems like nothing will ever be ok again, God is still there waiting with open arms!
In times of uncertainty, help us to find our security in Your unfailing love, strength, goodness and mercy. Fill our hearts with faith in You today and every day.
In times of uncertainty, help us to find our security in Your unfailing love, strength, goodness and mercy. Fill our hearts with faith in You today and every day.
When we trust you completely for all that we need, then You can lead us on the path that is best for us at this time. Thank You for being faithful to us even when we don’t know what to do or where to turn! We praise Your name for giving us hope through Jesus Christ who taught us how to live each day trusting in Your guidance as well as His love which gives meaning and purpose to our lives!
Help me to remember that my hope is not based on what I can see or feel but upon what I know to be true – God’s promises are ‘yes’ and ‘amen.’ I pray that this truth would always encourage me to run to You in every circumstance of life.
Hope is a grace, a gift from God. It is a virtue that enables us to see the goodness of God and His promises in the midst of difficulties.
Hope isn’t wishful thinking or living on false optimism. Hope is not based on your situation or circumstances, but rather on what you know to be true: that God’s promises are ‘yes’ and ‘amen.’
Hope encourages us to run to Him when we feel weak and discouraged; it gives us strength when we need it most because our hope is not based on what we can see or feel, but upon what He has promised—His love endures forever!
