Dear Lord, there’s a lot of talk this week about New Year’s resolutions. | guess we all want
to be different and change those habits and attitudes we know hold us back from being
what You want us to be.
As this old year draws to a close, | open my mind to Your guidance about Your vision of
what You want me to be and do next year. Help me become the person You desire.
Give me a vivid picture of myself filled with Your Spirit and empowered to discover and do
Your will.
| think of my relationships. Inspire my imagination with ways You want me to be Your
person to those around me. In this guiet moment I picture what life would be like if I
acted and spoke under Your guidance. In the realm of my responsibilities help me
take the cap off my reservations about what’s possible. Show me Your maximum plan
and my part in it. Please be very specific, Lord, so | can make resolutions that are more
than generalities.
As thoughts are formed into hopes, | realize again that You know me very well. You guide
me to attempt what | could not do on my own strength. Thank You that I| dont have to
remain as | am, nor does life have to be the same. Now | am really excited about the New
Year!
