We confess that we have not always been faithful to You and we ask for Your forgiveness. Help us to grow in our relationship with You and to become more like Jesus.

We ask that You would give us wisdom and guidance as we make plans for the coming year. Help us to set priorities that are in line with Your will for our lives.

We ask for Your protection and provision for our families, friends, and loved ones. We pray for peace and unity in our homes and communities.

We pray for Your Church and for the spread of the gospel. We ask that You would raise up leaders and workers to reach the lost and make disciples.

We pray for our leaders, giving them the wisdom and courage to make decisions that will benefit the common good.

We thank You for Your love and grace, and for the hope that we have in You. We trust in You, Lord, and we know that You are in control.

In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
