Prayers for the New Year

By January 8, 2024August 12th, 2024No Comments

Prayers for the New Year from in and around our Home

Our Residents are offering these prayers as they go into the new year:

  • I am going to slow down this year. I want to be able to take notice of how things and people grow, even if it happens very slowly.
  • I want to find the positive, even when it is hidden in the negative. Maybe then I can see what God is drawing my attention to – and do something about it.
  • I want to live each day for itself, not mourn the past or worry about the future. I guess that means really fully relying on God.
  • I want to pray more ~  not just say more prayers.
  • This year, whatever I want to say in anger can wait. It can wait until I’ve considered it from another perspective…or two!
  • I am going to keep it simple this year. God first!
  • This year I’m going to take care of what I already have and spend less…and maybe even give more.
  • I want to remind myself every day that, regardless of how it may appear to others, I have an abundant life. And I’m not going to waste it.
  • My goal for the New Year? I’m going to give the JOY formula a try:
    J – Jesus first.  O -Others next.  Y – Yourself last!
