New Year's Prayer

New Year's Prayer

Father we approach your throne of grace this new year in the name of Jesus. We resolve this year to flood heaven's gate with our praise and prayers. We resolve to live our lives in order to please you. We resolve to humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God. We resolve to have our ears attentive to the voice of God. We resolve to order our lives according to the precepts established in your word. We resolve to walk in the straight and narrow way. We resolve to lift our voices in praise and adoration of you. We resolve this year to lay aside every weight and run the race in order to win the prize. As you said to Abraham,  you are our shield and our exceedingly great reward. We resolve to bring honor to your name this year. We resolve to serve you with gladness. We pray that you would enable us to keep our resolution this year. We look forward to your second coming. Keep us ready Lord with oil in our lamps. Let your Holy Spirit fill us this year and let us glorify your name. In Jesus name we make this prayer. Lead us in paths of righteousness for your name sake. Amen.
