A New Year of Hope: Lay a New Foundation with Courage

As you think about celebrating the coming New Year, what would you like to accomplish in the days and months ahead that would be significant for you and others? It is possible for God to give you something purposeful that might seem out of bounds or even impossible considering your limitations. Remember, God has a way of making the impossible, possible.

What matters is your attitude that’s helped you cope with everything, including Covid, school, and work, just to name a few stressful issues. Yet upon close examination and honest consideration, there are an abundance of things to sincerely thank God for providing in a dreadful year.

What would you be willing for God to change so there could be hope for peace in the New Year? The Holy Spirit stands ready to give you courage to make reconciliations where there are divisions by reactivating hope for expressions of affection and peace. Be willing to respond positively to what God will provide in coming days.
