Bible Verse for January 1 Prayer

Bible verse: “Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:8-9)

Questions to think about/pray through for January 1:

1. What was successful last year? 
2. Where do you feel like your life needs to improve?
3. What are you hoping to “sow” this year? Is it worldly or eternal? 

January 1 Prayer: 

Thank you, Lord, for another beautiful year. It is beautiful because it is another year you have given me. As I start the New Year, I ask that it be rooted in what is essential in eternal life. Let this year be turning away from worldly importance and focus on where you call me. If it brings good to your Kingdom here on Earth, I am ready. Amen. 

Note: We keep our prayers short so they are easy to say out loud, write down, and say repeatedly. Sometimes I will post it on social media or save the image to remind myself to pray it throughout the day. Please use the image below however you’d like to help you keep this January 1 prayer close to you.
