Prayer is essential, and if you notice you aren't as interested in praying as you once were, Satan is interfering with your spiritual life. When the enemy wants to destroy a person's life, he makes sure they stop talking and listening to God. The importance of beginning with prayer cannot be overstated. Life is full of the unknown, but when we devote our lives to God, we can rest assured that no matter what happens, everything will work out. When we commit everything to God, we get rid of our fears because we know that God who comes before us and after us will keep us safe and deliver us from all evil.
So, begin this lovely new month and new year by praying to God. Make a commitment to God for the rest of your life and everything you will do in the coming month. This year, God has a lot of plans for you, and all you have to do is let him show you what they are. God reveals his plans to his children (those who are willing to listen to them). We literally make the mistake of not praying at the beginning of each month, and then we blame God when we suffer the consequences. I want you to pray this prayer, believing that God will answer all of your prayers this month. Remember that having faith in God and approaching him with a pure heart and motives is the key to reaching God.
"Dear Father in Heaven, with an open heart, I approach you. I beg you to please forgive me for all of my transgressions (disobedience). I seek you with all my heart, as the Bible instructs us to seek first your kingdom. As I begin this month, I ask you to take my hand in yours and guide me. I'd like you to give me wisdom and knowledge so that I can understand what you have planned for me this year. Lord, strengthen my relationship with you and everyone else. I declare that with you, God, I will make it through this month and that all the storms in my life have been defeated. It is well with me. Amen. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, "
