HAPPY NEW YEAR WOMEN OF IMPACT

ISAIAH 40 V 31

WALK IN PURPOSE THIS NEW YEAR!

Obedience Statements!

A new year brings new beginnings, new hopes, new goals, and new desires. It is an exciting time of year to be sure. Along with all this newness comes a renewed quest for understanding our purpose in life. It is true that God has created each of us to be unique and to follow Him with our own unique calling, but there is an area that He has called you, me, and every other believer to walk in - obedience to Him.

When we make daily decisions to walk in obedience, we find ourselves walking and living with purpose. There is no greater feeling than walking in obedience to God and knowing, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that our lives have purpose.

My prayer is that you will be encouraged the way I have been, to live with purpose in this new year, by walking in obedience too.

A Prayer for the New Year:

What shall I ask for the coming year What shall my watchword be What should thou do for me, dear Lord What can I do for thee?

Lord, I would ask for a holy year Spent in thy perfect will Help me to walk in thy very steps Help me to please thee still.

Lord, I would ask for a trustful year Give me thy faith divine Taking my full inheritance Making thy fulness mine!

Lord, I would ask for a year of love O let me love thee best Give me the love that faileth not Beneath the hardest test.

Lord, I would ask for a year of prayer Teach me to walk with thee Breathe in my heart the Spirit's prayer Pray thou thy prayer in me!

Lord, I would ask for the dying world Stretch forth thy mighty hand Thy truth proclaim, thy power display This year in every land.

Lord, I would ask for a year of joy Thy peace, thy joy divine Springing undimmed through all the days Be thy days of shade or shine.

Lord, I ask for a year of hope Looking for thee to come And hastening on that year of years That brings us home to you in Jesus Name. AMEN!
