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

Day 5: Seeking God's Will

Scripture: Proverbs 3:5-6

"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

In the pursuit of God's best for the new year, we are called to embrace His divine guidance and trust in His will. Proverbs 3:5-6 offers a profound reminder that leaning on our own understanding can be limiting, but when we acknowledge God in all our ways, He will direct our paths.

Today, take a moment to reflect on the importance of seeking God's will.

In prayer, surrender your plans and ambitions to Him. Acknowledge that His ways are higher and wiser than our own and that His guidance is the surest compass for the journey ahead.

Spend quality time in His presence, seeking His direction, and asking for clarity in your decisions. Trust in the promise that when you seek His will, He will lead you in the perfect way for this new year.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, as I stand on the threshold of a new year, I come before You with an open heart, ready to surrender my plans and aspirations. I acknowledge that Your ways are higher than mine and that Your wisdom is boundless. Guide me, Lord, in the path that aligns with Your perfect will. As I seek Your direction, grant me the discernment and clarity needed to make choices that honor You. May Your divine will be my guiding star, illuminating the way forward in this new season. Amen.
