The Promise of Spring
Ask the Lord for rain in the springtime; it is the Lord who sends the thunderstorms. He gives showers of rain to all people, and plants of the field to everyone.—Zechariah 10:1 (NIV)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!—2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV
Enter the new year committed to a new life! Look forward with wisdom you’ve gained from the past and the growth that you’ve experienced through forgiveness, patience and compassion. Get ready for the bountiful blessings God has in store for you. By God’s grace, “the old has gone, the new has come!”
Heavenly Father, because of Your strength, I can let go of the past and step forward with faith.
