Looking Ahead

After we have intentionally looked back and honored and thanked the Lord for His provision and presence in 2016, it is time to look ahead to the New Year with anticipation! Taking some time to intentionally seek the Lord in prayer regarding the year ahead positions us to move into 2017 with vision, focus and clarity!

Spend some time prayer journaling, asking the Lord what He is excited about for the year ahead! Write down what He shares with you, and begin to pray into and over those things. You may also want to take some time for self reflection. Below are some questions that could help prompt you:

  • What one thing you could do to improve your prayer life this year?
