Devotion for the new year 2019

Here's a devotion for the new year 2019:

Title: "A Fresh Start: Embracing the Possibilities of 2019"

Scripture: "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

Reflection:

As we stand at the threshold of a new year, we are filled with a mix of emotions - excitement for the possibilities that lie ahead, and perhaps a hint of anxiety about the unknown. But as we look to the future, let us not forget that we are not alone. God has a plan for our lives, a plan to prosper us, not to harm us, and to give us hope and a future.

In 2019, may we choose to trust in God's goodness and sovereignty. May we surrender our fears and doubts, and instead, step out in faith, knowing that He is with us every step of the way.

Prayer:

Dear Lord, as we enter this new year, we come to you with open hearts and minds. We acknowledge that you have a plan for our lives, and we choose to trust in your goodness and sovereignty. Help us to let go of our fears and doubts, and to step out in faith, knowing that you are with us every step of the way. Give us hope and a future, and may we experience your presence and guidance throughout this year. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

Action Step:

Take a few moments to reflect on the past year. What are some things you are grateful for? What are some things you would like to leave behind? As you look to the future, what are some goals or aspirations you have for 2019? Write them down, and then take a moment to pray over them, asking God to guide and direct you as you pursue them.

Conclusion:

As we begin this new year, may we remember that we are not alone. God is with us, and He has a plan for our lives. May we choose to trust in His goodness and sovereignty, and may we experience His presence and guidance throughout this year.
