God’s prayer for your New Year’s resolution!

Come to Me and I will show you My priority for your life and how you can please Me. I am a God of unsurpassed goodness and desire to give you a freedom and joy in 2020 that you can never experience in the world! I live so you can live!

How do you think God is praying for your New Year’s resolution?

“That they may be one as we are one”

You and I pray to lose weight, earn more money, buy a home, or find the perfect mate to marry. There is nothing wrong with desiring these things and praying to God for help in achieving your goals.

However, there is something much deeper and more important in the heart of God as you prepare for the New Year.

The challenge in making a resolution is God knows you better than you know yourself. He understands all your strengths and weaknesses and is an omniscient God. He will show you His priority in making your resolution if you allow Him.

God wants you to start 2020 with a clean slate. He wants you to ask Christ Jesus to forgive you for all your sins–past, present and future. Then ask God what you need to change in your life? Be patient and wait until you hear His voice!

God wants you to forgive Him or others who have hurt you in the past. This requires you to release all your bottled up hurts and feelings from the past and give them to God. So when you wake up on January 1st you will be free from those deep hurts that prevent you from living in the fullness and joy of God.

Finally, God wants you to know Christ Jesus above all else and live in oneness with Him each day of your life.

Unfortunately, you will not be able to achieve any of these goals on your own. You might make some progress than you will lapse back into your old habits.

You and I face many barriers in knowing Christ and finding a new outlook for 2020. The world is not your friend. Your fleshly indulgences can easily lead you astray from God. And, Satan is at work to tempt you into wrong doing.

Religion does not have the ability to make you into a new person or set you free from past feelings or habits. And, you will never know Christ through works or keeping laws.

You have to become a new person in Christ Jesus living with God through the authority of the Holy Spirit. This happens when you make a decision to be baptized into the death and resurrected life of Christ.

This is your only hope for 2020!
