🌟 Prayer for 2026

Heavenly Father,

As I step into this new year, I thank You for the gift of life, the lessons of the past, and the promise of what lies ahead.

Fill my heart with peace that surpasses understanding and guide my steps in wisdom and love.

May 2026 be a year of growth, healing, and purpose.

Bless my family, friends, and all those I encounter with health, joy, and provision.

Help me to walk in kindness, speak with grace, and live with courage.

When challenges arise, remind me that I am never alone, for You are my strength and my refuge.

I dedicate this year to You, trusting that Your plans for me are good and full of hope.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
