Father, Almighty God, may I walk circumspectly within Your good pleasure. I thank You for Your blessings upon this coming year of 2026. May we know You more intimately. May we sense Your presence every day. May we be drawn by Your Holy Spirit and taught by Him as we read and study Your Word. Let Your light shine upon us and within us in the name and authority of Jesus, according to Your good and perfect will. Amen.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.” (Ephesians 1: 3-6 NKJV)

 

Blessings for 2026! Happy New Year!
