43 End of Year Prayer Points + Scriptures

2023 was filled with happy, sad, and devastating moments. We thank God for all that we have learned through it all. However, we have to press in for the newness that he has in store. Let us ask our heavenly father to help us release the heavy burdens of 2023 and enter into 2024 light, strong, and EXCITED for the newness he has in store!

See, I am doing a new thing!
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
    and streams in the wasteland.
Isaiah 43:19

On July 4th, 2021, I had an exciting dream ! In the prophetic dream the phrase, “Heap the year of rewards!” came before me. The words were surrounded by crops from a farm. I don’t think this was a word for ME. I think this was a 2024 word for US. We often pray so long about things we FORGET that God actually wants to do miracles and wonders. “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9

God cares about the sick, hurting, broken, and lost. God has a plan for it all. “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9

Also, I’d like you to join me on a 21 Day Daniel Fast starting on January 1st. I fast every year on the first month as a seed offering, to remove the pain of the previous year, to cleanse my body, renew intimacy with God, and receive spiritual strategy for the New Year. You can join our facebook group where we will share encouragements, testimonies, and strategies to grow closer to God. Ready?!
