Day 19 of 21 days of prayer | happy New Year’s Eve

 21 days of prayer | praying in the new year and traveling through loss 

Day 19 of 21 Days of Prayer

| 31 December 2023

It’s New Year’s Eve! 

I can’t believe it’s really here. Tomorrow we will be starting a whole new year all with its own ups and downs. Tomorrow starts 2024. What will this new year bring? Will it be better than this last year? Will it be harder? I pray it is better than 2023. Yes, there has been such incredible things that have happened—the best being a new life being born into my family, my baby sister. But there have been so many challenges and hardships that began on January second and have lasted through this entire year. I’m so thankful for this year for all its blessings and joys. But I’m praying 2024 is easier. 

Today I was also praying for what’s to come. Praying that God will lead me and guide my steps. Praying that God will go before me and lead me in His path. Praying to be prepared. Praying for my future family. Todays prayers are prayers for the future and what’s to come. 

6I lie awake thinking of you,

meditating on you through the night.

7Because you are my helper,

I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings.

8I cling to you;

your strong right hand holds me securely. 

—Psalm 63:6-8

I don’t know what’s in store for this new year. Still, I am hopeful. I will trust God. 

What I read…

• Psalm 63
• Psalm 64
• John 13

34So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.  35Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples. 

—John 13:34-35

8O my people, trust in him at all times.

Pour out your heart to him,

for God is our refuge.

—Psalm 62:8
