The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT

Father,

Thank you for a fresh beginning. You know what’s ahead in 2015, so as I walk with You through this coming year there will be no surprises. You have already been there, and you will help me navigate every challenge, every rugged mountain, every deep ravine, every flood, every desert, and every joy. I am Yours to command. You are my Lord, my Leader, and the Commander in Chief of my soul.

Thank You for forgiving my past! You have chosen to remove it from me as far as the east is from the west – the maximum distance in the universe. I determine to forget it, too! And because of Jesus, I am a new creation with a new anointing, a new perspective, a new mission, a new desire,  new strength, and a new outlook. I choose to walk in your ways in 2015; Your ways are Love ~ loving You, loving myself, loving my family, loving my friends, loving my team, loving my organization, and loving my community. I can’t do it unless you change me from the inside out. So my 2015 plan is to stay close to you, to stay in your Word, and to stay in constant communication with You throughout each day.

Lead on, oh King Eternal. Let’s – You and I – make this the greatest year yet.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
