A Prayer to Renew Your Trust in God This New Year | Your Daily Prayer

I want to be joyful, hopeful, and excited for what is to come, but the circumstances of my life make it so hard. The lies I believe about myself are all-consuming, and I can’t seem to break free. I want to trust you, Jesus. I want to surrender my worry, my shame, my guilt, and my despair. It is heavy, and I don’t want to carry it any longer. I want to live a life of victory but every day I am battling my thoughts and circumstances and struggling to trust that any good can come from this. Lord, I want to renew my trust in you in this new year. Please help me to recognize the lies that tell me I am not good enough or that I am alone. Give me the strength and endurance to look past my circumstances and to see you standing with me, trusting that you work all things for good for those who love you. (Romans 8:28). Lord, bring me scriptures of truth from your Word that I can recite to combat lies and speak truth into my heart. Bring people into my life that I can confide in, and that can encourage me to trust you, even when it doesn’t make sense. Bring to remembrance times in my life that you have shone into dark things and brought light and redemption. I want to hang on to your promises that you are with me and will never leave me. I want to trust that you can work all things together for your glory, even when it looks so dark. It is faith beyond my ability to trust you in all things, and I need your help, Lord. I want to walk with faith like Moses, Abraham, and Isaac. I want to be able to look at a hard situation and be able to see past it with supernatural hope. I don’t want to be weighed down in this world anymore. Remind me to think of good things and bring to light the darkness that is hidden in my soul. Thank you, Jesus, for your truth, your light, and your love. Thank you that I don’t have to walk this world alone and that hard things don’t need to bring me down. Thank you, Jesus, for your saving grace and my ability to fight the enemy with the power that rose you from the dead. Thank you for the gospel. I pray that as this new year unfolds, I can look back and see your hand in all of it and see that you pulled me out of a slimy pit and put me on solid ground. In your precious name, Jesus, I pray, amen.
