Prayer Focus for the New Year

We are entering a new year full of hopes and promises! As we look back and think of all the marvelous answers to prayer over the last year, we can take hope and believe the Lord will be faithful to hear and answer throughout this year as well. Here in the United States we will have a new President and many other new leaders across our nation. It is a time to ask the Lord for his grace and mercy as we face the many challenges in this country.

There are many crises facing our world. The list includes wars, economic problems, changes in leadership around the world, droughts, famines and especially the condition of the children of the world. But, we remember the promises of God's word to hear and answer us when we call on the name of Jesus. Let us determine to go into this year with a heart full of faith and with the foundation of the Word of God believing to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

May the Holy Spirit direct your prayers.

The earth is the LORD's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.
(Psalm 24)
