My Prayer For 2016


"Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts"-Psalm 90:12

"Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil" -Ephesians 5:16

I pray lord, that year 2016 will not be just another new year…

Help me to make the most of every single day

Help me to live each day in it, better than I lived the previous

Help me to make year 2016 count

Help me to see it as a blank slate and write the story of my life as if it has just begun

Help me to learn from my mistakes so that I can be a better person

Help me to redeem each day prayerfully

Help me to pursue purpose and walk in Your will

Give me foresight; lemme see farther than I can look

Help me to detect and lock down opportunities in whatever form they come in

Give me a discerning heart; let me not associate will those that will poison my purpose

Separate me from destiny devourers, life and time wasters

Let my enemies become Your enemies and let evil be far from me

Do not cast me away from Your presence nor take Your Holy Spirit from me

Let my soul find rest under the shadow of Your wings

Let me see the goodness of the lord in the land of the living

Let the earth bring forth goodness for me and let me not eat the bread of sorrow

Let those be ashamed and humiliated together who rejoice at my distress;
Let those be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves over me.

Let them shout for joy and rejoice, who favor my vindication and want what is right for me

These I pray for in the new year

I surrender 2016 to You O lord…take the wheel
