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

Day 20: Encountering God's Presence

Scripture: Psalm 16:11

"You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand."

Seeking God's presence is the pinnacle of embracing His best. Psalm 16:11 assures us, "You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand."

Today, we commit to spending time in God's presence and seeking joy and fullness of life in the new year. Being in God's presence is not just a spiritual practice; it's an experience that fills us with joy and provides a sense of purpose and direction.

In our prayer today, we ask God to help us seek His presence and the fullness of joy that comes from being in His presence. We understand that this encounter is transformative and aligns us with His best. We desire to be drawn closer to Him, to experience His joy, and to find a sense of fullness in life that only His presence can provide.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, as we embark on this new year, we come before You with a longing to encounter Your presence. We understand that being in Your presence is a source of joy and fullness of life. Please help us to seek Your presence, to draw closer to You, and to experience the deep and abiding joy that comes from being with You. May we find purpose and direction in Your presence and align ourselves with Your best for our lives. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
