As the year comes to a close, it’s natural to reflect on what has been. Whether the year brought joy, trials, or a mixture of both, God invites us to leave the past in His hands. In Isaiah, He reminds us not to dwell on what’s behind, but to look forward to the new things He is bringing into our lives. New beginnings start with a heart surrendered to Him.

Take a moment today to thank God for His faithfulness over the past year. Release any burdens or regrets to Him and prepare your heart to embrace His plans for the year ahead.

Prayer: Lord, thank You for carrying me through this past year. I release my worries and failures into Your hands and ask for Your guidance as I step into the new year. Amen.
