Focusing on God in the New Year

Happy New Year Sisters! It’s so important to start off the year on the right foot! As you all know, resolutions are such a big part of our culture.  Annually, everyone counts down the days until they will put their goals into action. This year, the top two resolutions are working out and saving money. Go figure! We’ve all been guilty of saying, “Once it’s the new year then I’ll start eating healthy” or “once it’s the new year I’ll finally break this bad habit.”

Guess what Sisters? We are here to tell you that EVERYDAY is a fresh start.  No need to put off positive changes or resolutions until the calendar reads a certain date. Lamentations 3:22-23 tell us that “His mercies are new each morning!”  Everyday is a brand new start and a chance to put God first and make Him the center of your day.  I challenge you all, as we go into this new year to focus on God. I know we all get so busy and it can be difficult to find time in our daily routines for God.

Something I like to do is set my alarm a little bit early in the morning and make intentional time to be with God. I use the extra time to pray and read a devotional on my Bible app before my feet even hit the ground! It’s so important to begin our day with the One who gave us life.  Connecting with Him and talking with Him in the morning is so special I highly encourage you all to try it!

Let us know how we can pray for you this year.
