This New Year Let God and his son Jesus in:

<p>   This New Year Let God and his son Jesus in:</p> <p> </p> <p>Dear God,</p> <p>Thank you that you make all things new. Thank you for all that you have allowed into our lives this past year, the good along with the hard things, COVID-19 election unrest murder in the streets and more, which have reminded us how much we need you and rely on your presence filling us every single day.</p> <p> </p> <p>We pray for your Spirit to lead us each step of this New Year. We ask that you guide our decisions and turn our hearts to deeply desire you above all else. We ask that you open doors needing to be opened and close the ones needing to be shut tight. We ask that you help us release our grip on the things to which you have said “no,” “not yet,” or “wait.” We ask for help to pursue you first, above every dream and desire you have put within our hearts.</p> <p> </p> <p>We ask for your wisdom, for your strength and power to be constantly present within us. We pray you would make us strong and courageous for the road ahead. Give us ability beyond what we feel able, let your gifts flow freely through us, so that you would be honored by our lives, and others would be drawn to you.</p> <p> </p> <p>We pray that you would keep us far from the snares and traps of temptations. That you would whisper in our ear when we need to run, and whisper in our heart when we need to stand our ground.</p> <p> </p> <p>We pray for your protection over our families and friends. We ask for your hand to cover us and keep us distanced from the evil intent of the enemy; that you would be a barrier to surround us, that we would be safe in your hands. We pray that you would give us discernment and insight beyond our years, to understand your will, hear your voice, and know your ways.</p> <p> </p> <p>We ask that you keep our footsteps firm, on solid ground, helping us to be consistent and faithful. Give us supernatural endurance to stay the course, not swerving to the right or to the left, or being too easily distracted by other
