New Wineskins: Embracing God's Best for You in Your New YearSample

Day 13: Trusting God's Leading

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:7

"For we live by faith, not by sight."

Walking by faith is at the heart of our Christian journey. In 2 Corinthians 5:7, we find the powerful reminder to "walk by faith and not by sight." This verse calls us to trust God's guidance, even when the path ahead seems unclear or challenging.

Today, we commit to embracing this fundamental principle in the new year. Walking by faith requires that we place our trust in God, even when we cannot see the full path before us. It's about following His leading with unwavering faith, knowing that He is the ultimate source of direction and purpose in our lives.

In our prayer today, we humbly seek God's help to walk by faith. We acknowledge that this journey is not always easy, but it is essential for our relationship with Him. We ask for the strength to trust His leading, especially in moments of doubt or uncertainty, believing that He will guide us toward His best for our lives.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, as we embark on this new year, we come before You, recognizing the importance of walking by faith. We acknowledge that this is not always a straightforward path, but it is fundamental to our relationship with You. Please grant us the strength to trust in Your guidance, especially when the way ahead is unclear. In moments of doubt or uncertainty, let our faith be our anchor. May we not rely solely on what we can see but lean on You for guidance and wisdom. Grant us the perseverance to keep walking by faith, even when challenges arise. In the face of the unknown, we trust Your divine plan. Amen.
