What are you planning for your New Year’s Resolutions? I make
a list of things I want to improve on or change every, and usually they’re always
the same! But you know what? I hardly ever keep them! Don’t get me wrong. My resolutions are important
and significant, concerning health, spirituality, and helping others. I just can’t stay with it the way I plan in
the beginning. So I decided to give up the whole idea of resolutions this year,
and instead, take a different approach. I wrote a prayer.
As I was writing, something interesting
happened. I started to think about friends and family who are in need of
support through prayer, and my thoughts grew wider to all those in the world
who may also be in need of prayers. So I
had a thought: how about if we ALL PRAY FOR EACH OTHER in the New Year? We all have burdens to bear, and some are very
heavy to hold alone. What if we each considered praying along with our
resolutions for the New Year? Praying
for each other is a powerful thing. There’s
a strength and peace that comes when we pray this way. Reflect on others needs; praying for the
sick, the disabled, the lonely , the elderly, the children? There are those who
have lost loved ones, those who are going through divorce, or loss of a job. There
is need for prayer for those in the world who are persecuted, rejected, imprisoned
and discarded by society. What about the homeless, the hungry, the lost? Who better to pray for than the soldiers,
police officers, firemen or rescue workers; nurses, doctors, pastors and
teachers? Let’s pray for the strength of
families and for marriages which seem more and more under attack these days. If you have
a special intention or prayer request, I will pray for you. I know I need
prayers as well. So let’s do it! Feel
free to leave a comment if you have a special prayer and I will pray for you.
We are all intertwined on this earth and we must help bear
each others burdens. We need to have each others backs, watch out for, defend
and help each other stay on track. Another year is about to unfold. There are
sorrows unknown, joys will unfold, promises and hopes to come. Let us remember that no man or woman; no
program or new fad can help truly fulfill us, but only The Father can sustain
us. Pray for His Divine Presence to go before and after each of us throughout our
individual walks this coming year. May
we all walk in confidence and trust and pray in Jesus Precious Name, Amen.
