New Year’s Prayer 2023

Each year, I like to start off with a prayer you can pray and personalize.

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for all you did in my life in 2022. You helped me to grow and walked me through change. You never left my side. I may not see your plan fully, but I trust you completely. You have never failed me yet. I pray that in the coming year, you will continue to lead and guide me. Give me the strength and courage to walk through places where I don’t understand, and help my unbelief when my faith feels like it’s wavering.

For 2023, I pray that you would let your peace that passes all understanding reign and rule in my life. You are the Prince of Peace, I invite your peace into my mind, my heart, my home and my life. Bring your holy order to the areas of my life that are experiencing chaos. Help my mind to rest and to focus on you and your promises. Let me experience your peace this year.

I also ask that you restore the broken places in my life this next year. Make me whole in body, mind and spirit. Complete the work that you have begun in me. Take the broken pieces from my life and make something beautiful from them. I know you aren’t finished working on me and in my life. I give you control to bring restoration this year. Help me to be more like you and to love others like you do. Use me to help others find their wholeness and restoration in you.

Next, I pray that this would be a year of healing for me. Help me to touch the hem of your garment in faith so that your virtue flows into my life bringing healing where I need it. Your son was beaten and whipped so that I could be healed in my body, my mind and my spirit. I receive that healing today. Whether you heal me instantly or through a process, I ask that 2023 would be the year I look back on as a year of supernatural healing in my life.

Finally, I ask that you would open up the windows of Heaven and pour out blessings I can’t contain this year. Bless me and my family. Bless the me in my work. Expand the territory of my influence so that I can be a blessing to others. I receive all that you have for me. Help me to become the person you created me to be and to reach the potential you see in me. Let this be a year of growth and blessings in my life where I see your goodness overflow. Thank you for all you’re going to do in my life in 2023.

In Jesus’ name I pray for all these things.

Amen.
