Six important prayers to help you start 2022

The way you begin the year will determine how you finish it. Knowing and praying for the year ahead is crucial. Satan always prepares for the worst in order to bring us down. Let us thank God for everything we have and look forward to a prosperous new year. We should let go of the year's bitterness and frustrations. And let us enter the new year with the assurance that God loves us and desires the best for us.

We should have hope that the focus of the new year will be on self-healing through repentance and mental renewal. We can spread hope in our own hearts, homes, and communities.

The first prayer should be one of thanksgiving.

Whether 2021 brought you success, fulfillment, and joy or grief, setbacks, and struggle, you can look forward to 2022 with optimism.

God deserves praise for preserving our lives, spouses, children, co-workers, relatives, and friends. Even though the pandemic made the last year extremely difficult, he is an amazing God. 

Your relationship with God is the second prayer you should ntercede for.

It's important to pray for your personal relationship with him so that he can lead and guide you through the year 2022.

Your family, friends, relatives, and anyone else you care about should be the third person for whom you should pray.

Satan is always on the lookout for our flaws and strengths. He'd go looking for it in order to destroy us if he couldn't find us. Pray for their safety, health, and a variety of other things. "Confess your faults one to another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed", James 5:16 says in the Bible.

Your pastor and the church are the fourth person you should pray for. 

Your pastor will always pray for you and your loved ones. This time around, don’t forget to mention him, his family, and ministry in your prayers. The Bible in the book of 1 Thessalonians 5:25 says, "Brethren, pray for us." This should ring true in your spirit: men and women of God require our prayers just as much as we require theirs.

Your fifth prayer should be for your New Year's resolutions

We all have dreams and goals that we want to achieve. "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you," says Matthew 7:7.

The sixth prayer should be a request for God's will to be done in your life.

If you aren't displaying God's glory in your life, you aren't living up to the Scriptures and aren't yet at God's best. Seeking God's will for our lives brings true fulfilment. Remember that it is only through faith and prayer that you can  God fulfill his entire plan for your life.
