Heavenly Father, as we stand on the threshold of a new year, we come before you with hearts full of anticipation and excitement for what this next year has in store for us. Standing in agreement with our church, Brian and I declare 2024 to be the year of more! We thank You for the intense battles we faced in 2023, for it was through these trials that we witnessed Your mighty hand at work. We personally saw You move like never before in our lives. Your power and faithfulness were so evident that we are still in awe as we reflect on this past year. We know that You will continue to move in even greater ways in the year ahead.

Lord, let our eyes be opened widely, making us keenly aware of exactly how You see each of us as your favorite son or favorite daughter. You love us unconditionally and have uniquely designed us and chosen us to be a part of Your royal family. Help us to remember this truth as we navigate through the challenges we may face in this new year. Give us the boldness to declare our identity in You, knowing that we are deeply loved by You.
In 2024, we pray for divine encounters with others. May every interaction be blessed with Your anointing pouring out from within us like a river bank that just keeps overflowing. Let your presence be so apparent in our lives that those around us cannot help but see Your hand at work. Grant us the boldness to lift up your name and share the Good News with those we come in contact with. May our words and actions be a reflection of Your beauty and worth, drawing others into Your Kingdom and closer to you.

As we embark on this new year, we pray for an increase in our relationship with You, Lord. Help us to grow spiritually and bear good fruit that brings glory to Your name. We desire to know You even more deeply and to experience Your presence in every aspect of our lives. Guide us along the path of spiritual growth, molding us into the person that You created us to be.
Thank you, Lord, for the adventures and blessings that await us in 2024. We place our hope and trust in You, knowing that You are ALWAYS working all things together for our good. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen. ©Rita Larson 1/1/2024
