New Creation in You

[@musicmagicchannel-Hymn]

Dear Heavenly Father, At the beginning of this new year, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude. Thank You for Your presence in our lives throughout the past year. Whether in joy or challenges, we know Your grace has never left us. We praise You for Your faithfulness and lift up Your name for Your steadfast love. Lord, as You promised in Isaiah: "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!" We surrender the past into Your hands-our regrets, pains, and burdens. Help us to let go of what is behind and fix our eyes on the new things You are preparing for us. Father, we believe that through Christ, we are made new creations, as 2 Corinthians reminds us: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" Your mighty power is at work within us, renewing our lives so we can step confidently into each day of this new year. Lord, may You open new paths for us in 2025 and guide us to walk in Your will. Whether we face mountaintops or valleys, Your presence is our strength. Whether the road is smooth or rugged, Your promises are our hope. Grant us wisdom to discern Your guidance and courage to follow the path You have set before us. At this hopeful beginning, we pray for our families, our church, and our community. May Your peace fill our homes, may Your love ignite our hearts, and may Your gospel be proclaimed through us to the ends of the earth. Lord, let 2025 be a year of abundant blessings and a year to witness Your glory. We fully rely on You and declare that Your glory will fill the earth and Your will shall be done in our lives. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
