“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. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me with all your heart.”
Jeremiah 29:11-13
Abba Father,
By Your amazing love and grace, I stand before you today, grateful for the countless blessings You have bestowed upon me.
(Take time to reflect on your blessings; praise God!)
I praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving. Psalm 69:30
As I begin this new chapter in my life, I ask You to continue to fill me with the light, strength and wisdom of the Holy Spirit, so I may live a life worthy of eternal life with You and my loved ones.
(What is this new chapter - new job, retirement, new home, empty nest? Talk with God and ask Him to share with you through the Holy Spirit how He will use you in this new chapter.)
May the glory of Christ fill my soul and guide me with a joyful heart so I may embrace and fulfill Your plan for my life. I praise and honor Your Son, Jesus Christ, my Savior and Redeemer and I invite the Holy Spirit to help me pray each day and remind me to look at life through the eyes of Your beloved Son, to trust when I cannot see the big picture, knowing You are in complete control and have a good plan for my life.
Strengthen my faith Father so there is no doubt, no unbelief, not a moment of hesitation. Strengthen my heart so I may wholly yield it to the Holy Spirit each and every day, experiencing the wonder of being in the midst of your plan, and Your power as it unfolds in my life. I look to the future with excitement as I walk with Christ, one day at a time.
I rejoice in Your holy name and praise You all the days of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen
