New Wineskins: Embracing God's Best for You in Your New YearNäide

Day 11: Persevering in Prayer

Scripture: Colossians 4:2

"Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful."

In our pursuit of God's best for the new year, we come to understand the profound impact of persistent prayer. Colossians 4:2 calls us to devote ourselves to prayer, watching with thanksgiving. It's a reminder of the powerful tool that prayer is and how it can transform our journey.

Today, we commit to deepening our prayer life in the new year. Persistent prayer is not about mere repetition, but about consistency and dedication. It's about seeking God's wisdom, guidance, and strength as we navigate the uncharted waters of the future. It's in these moments of communion with God that we find the strength to embrace His best.

In prayer, we humbly seek the Lord's guidance. We ask for the perseverance to remain steadfast in our commitment to prayer. As we bring our hopes, fears, and aspirations before God, may we remain watchful with thanksgiving, trusting that His wisdom and guidance will lead us into His best for our lives.

Prayer:

Lord, as I embark on this new year, I come before You, committed to deepening my prayer life. I understand that persistent prayer is a powerful tool for embracing Your best. I seek Your wisdom, guidance, and strength in my journey. Grant me the perseverance to remain steadfast in my commitment to prayer, even in the face of challenges. Help me to seek Your will in all things and to be watchful with thanksgiving, knowing that You are my constant source of wisdom and guidance. In this new year, may my prayer life be a source of transformation, drawing me closer to Your best. Amen.
