You should pray your way into the new year. With all the sad events of last year including the kidnapping, killings, wars, pandemic, racial tensions, joblessness, and political unrest, indeed last yearwas filled with unprecedented times of unrest and anxiety. But a new year is here. A new season. A new chapter. God has already seen beyond the years and I can tell you that He is ready to make every crook way in [current_year] straight only if we commit the new year into His hands.
Yes. Praying at the start of the New Year doesn’t always bring immediate change at the stroke of midnight, but it begins the opening of our hearts to God’s Words of hope and peace. The prayer points on this page are better used at home before the breaking of the first day of the new year preferably, anytime between 1.00 am to 5.00 am of the first day of the new year, that is, right after the WatchNight Service.
Before you start praying, ensure you pray a prayer of thanksgiving. You can see thanksgiving prayer points here
