Start Strong: 7 Prayers for Bold New BeginningsSample

You're stepping into something new: a fresh start, a different rhythm, or a busy season. You may feel stretched, uncertain, excited, or quietly hopeful about what lies ahead.

But new seasons bring their own weight. The rush of change. The stress of choices you can't control. The heartache of leaving familiar places behind.

And so we pray.

I created this plan for that sacred space—those quiet moments:

• when your heart hopes or aches
• when you're unsure what's next
• when you simply want to speak God's truth over your circumstances

This isn't just seven random prayers—it's an intentional path designed to steady your heart and strengthen your faith as you move forward.

Each day offers a Bible verse, encouragement, and a prayer to launch your conversation with God.

Want to go deeper? I've also included optional listening prayer prompts to help you pause and hear what God might be saying back. No perfect words required—just an open heart.

1. Invite God into the real places of your life: new pressures, stretching experiences, changing relationships, and the daily shaping of who you're becoming.
2. As you pray, pause and listen. Ask God what He sees. Let Him lead the conversation.
3. Pray as an act of trust. Your prayers are planting seeds you may not see flourish immediately. But they're taking root. Every word matters. Every moment counts. With every prayer, you're entrusting your season to God and speaking life and truth over yourself through these simple, sacred conversations.

Let's get started with the first prayer.

God Goes Before You

Father, thank You that You already hold my future. Please show me how to pray for this new season. When fear or doubt rise up, remind me that Your plans for me are good. Stir up hope in my heart as I trust You to bring good things even out of difficult circumstances. Anchor my trust in You, not in the specific outcomes I want, or only in what I can see. Help me rest in Your faithfulness as I step forward into the unknown. Amen.

Optional Prayer Questions:

1. God, I'm feeling anxious about what's ahead. What do You want me to know about Your plans for me right now? I'm listening.
2. Father, what are You excited about that I can't see yet?
