New Year, New Me, Same God: Walking With God Into the New Yearნიმუში

Picture standing at a fork in the road, unsure which path to take. That’s where many of us feel at the start of a new year—and we feel paralyzed by the pressure to make the “right” choice. How do we really know if we’re following God’s plan for our life versus our own selfish desires? How do we know if we’re setting the right goals or making the right choices?

Here’s something you probably didn’trealize: even asking these questions is a good indicator. The fact that you have the desire to pursue God’s best means you’re headed in the right direction.

It’s impossible for you to make a plan or set a goal that’s out of step with God’s will if you’ve invited him into the process. Tell God about your hopes and dreams for the year ahead, ask him for direction, and trust him with the outcome.

Reflect: What hopes or goals do you want to entrust to God this year?

Pray: God, I place my hopes, dreams, and plans into your hands. Lead me by your Spirit and help me follow your guidance as I step into this new year.
