New's Year Prayer for 2026

Gracious and Faithful God,

As we step into this new year, we pause to acknowledge Your presence that has carried us through every season. Thank You for the blessings, the lessons, and the quiet mercies that have shaped us in 2025. We stand at the threshold of 2026 with open hands and open hearts, trusting that You go before us.

Lord, make this a year of renewal.
Renew our minds with Your wisdom.
Renew our spirits with Your peace.
Renew our community with Your love.

Guide our steps so that everything we do reflects Your grace. Strengthen us to serve with compassion, to speak with kindness, and to walk in unity. Where there is weariness, bring rest. Where there is uncertainty, bring clarity. Where there is division, sow reconciliation.

Bless our church family—every household, every ministry, every dream You have planted within us. Help us to listen for Your voice, follow Your leading, and trust Your timing.

May 2026 be a year where we grow deeper in faith, wider in love, and bolder in hope.

May Your light shine through us in ways that draw others closer to You.

We dedicate this new year to You, O Lord.
Do a new thing in us, through us, and among us.
And may all we do bring glory to Your holy name.

Amen.
