-- John 12:46
I have come into the world as a Light,
so that no one who believes in Me should stay in darkness.
-- 2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
+* +* +* +* +* +* +*
And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year:
"Give me the light that I may tread safely into the unknown."
And he replied:
"Go into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God.
That shall be to you better than a light and safer than a known way."
-- M. Louise Haskins
-- Philippians 4:6-7
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by Prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, Present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Dear Lord,
In the New Year, we Pray
that You will guide us each new day
in paths that are pleasing to You.
Lord, the New Year gives us another chance
to rededicate our lives to You,
to study Your Word
so that we know right from wrong
and to act in accordance with Your Commands.
Thank You for the sense of
direction, purpose and peace we get
from aligning our lives with Your Holy Will.
We Pray for the strength and the will to obey You
each and every day of the New Year,
and when we fail, we Pray for Your Mercy,
Your Compassion, Your Grace and Your Love.
Help us in the New Year to be Your faithful se rvants.
In Jesus name we Pray, Amen.
-- J. Fuchs
-- 1 John 2:5-6
5 But those who obey Gods Word really do love Him. That is the way to know whether or not we live in Him. 6 Whoever claims to live in God must walk as Jesus Christ did.

"A New Year's"
Instead of making a New Year's resolution
Consider committing to a Biblical solution
Your promises are easily broken
Empty words, though earnestly spoken
But God's Word transforms the soul
By His Holy Spirit making you whole
As you spend time alone with Him
He will change you from within
-- M. Fairchild
-- Ephesians 4:32
And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you.
-- Ephesians 5:1-2
1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children, 2 and live in love, as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

"New Year Prayer"
God grant us this year a wider view,
So we see others' faults through the eyes of You.
Teach us to judge not with hasty tongue,
Neither the adult ... nor the young.
Give us patience and grace to endure
And a stronger faith so we feel secure.
Instead of remembering, help us forget
The irritations that caused us to fret.
Freely forgiving for some offense
And finding each day a rich recompense.
In offering a friendly, helping hand
And trying in all ways to understand;
That all of us whoever we are ...
Are trying to reach an unreachable star.
For the great and small ... the good and bad,
The young and old ... the sad and glad
Are asking today; Is life worth living?
The answer is only in, loving and giving.
For only Love can make man kind
And Kindness of Heart brings Peace of Mind.
By giving love, we can start this year
To lift the clouds of hate and fear.
-- H. Steiner Rice
-- Jeremiah 29:11-13
11 For I know the Plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, Plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon Me and come and Pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.

"Happy New Year"
I am the "NEW YEAR."
I am an unspoiled page in your book of time.
I am your next chance at the art of living.
I am your opportunity
to practice what you have learned during
the last twelve months about life.
All that you sought the past year
and failed to find is hidden in Me;
I am waiting for you to search it out
again and with more determination.
All the good that you tried to do
for others and didn't achieve last year
is Mine to grant -- providing you have
fewer selfish and conflicting desires.
In Me lies the potential
of all that you dreamed but didn't
dare to do, all that you hoped
but did not perform.
All you Prayed for
but did not yet experience -
these dreams slumber lightly,
waiting to be awakened by the touch
of an enduring purpose -
I am your opportunity
to renew your allegiance to Him who said,
"behold, I make all things new." (Rev. 21:5)
I am the NEW YEAR.

-- 2 Corinthians 5:7, 17-18
7 We live by Faith, not by sight.
++ 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a New creation;
the old has gone, the New has come!
18 All this Newness of life is from God, who brought us back to Himself through what Christ did. And God has given us the task of reconciling people to Him.

"New Life"
A New Year,
A New Life.
Free from worry,
Free from strife.
When you have faith to
Turn your life over to God;
There are no limits, He is
Your strength and your everlasting rod.
To be one is His grace,
His truth and His peace;
To live each day to serve Him
And give complete release.
Nothing can compare to
His precious gift;
Of life eternal through our dear Savior He did lift.
High above us is He as we await His return;
To take us all home
With His gentle, loving concern.
He guides and protects us
Like no other friend;
Seek His forgiveness,
And you shall have no end!
He will never let you down
Or turn you away.
He loves you without judgment,
Even if youve been led astray.
So enter Gods kingdom,
Begin to do your good works.
And know in your heart
That doubt no longer lurks.
Be happy, give thanks
And believe in His Love;
Youre now a free spirit,
Youre Gods precious dove!
Trust in His strength,
His hope and His joy;
Let nothing stand in your way of your new life
..ENJOY!
-- T. L. Cuny
-- Jude 1:20
But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most Holy Faith and Pray in the Holy Spirit.
-- Matthew 26:41
Watch and Pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.
-- Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.
-- Philippians 3:12-16
12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; But one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let those of us then who are mature be of the same mind; and if you think differently about anything, this too God will reveal to you. 16 But we must be sure to obey the Truth we have learned already.
-- Mark 11:24-25
24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in Prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And when you stand Praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.
-- John 15:5
I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; For without Me you can do nothing.
-- James 4:13-15
13 Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." 14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15 Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lords will, we will live and do this or that."
-- Galatians 6:9-10
9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
+* +* +* +* +* +* +*
-- Jeremiah 33:3
Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.
-- Isaiah 55:6-11
6 Seek the LORD while He may be found; Call on Him while He is near. 7 Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and He will have mercy on him, and to our God, for He will freely pardon.
8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways," declares the LORD. 9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.
10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 11 so is My Word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."
-- Lamentations 3:22-26
22 The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; 23 Th ey are New every morning; great is Your faithfulness. 25 The LORD is good to those whose Hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him; 26 it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
-- Psalms 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to Him in song.
-- Psalms 100
1 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. 2 Worship the LORD with gladness; Come before Him with joyful songs. 3 Know that the LORD is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of His pasture. 4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; Give thanks to Him and praise His name. 5 For the LORD is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.
-- Psalms 51:10
Create in me a pure heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
-- Isaiah 40:31
But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Christian New Year Quotes:
+ Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past. -- Henry Ward Beecher
+ Glory to God in highest heaven,
Who unto man His Son hath given;
While angels sing with tender mirth,
A glad new year to all the earth.
-- Martin Luther
+ I do not advise that we end the year on a somber note. The march, not the dirge, has ever been the music of Christianity. If we are good students in the school of life, there is much that the years have to teach us. But the Christian is more than a student, more than a philosopher. He is a believer, and the object of his faith makes the difference, the mighty difference. Of all persons the Christian should be best prepared for whatever the New Year brings. He has dealt with life at its source. In Christ he has disposed of a thousand enemies that other men must face alone and unprepared. He can face his tomorrow cheerful and unafraid because yesterday he turned his feet into the ways of peace and today he lives in God. The man who has made God his dwelling place will always have a safe habitation. -- A.W. Tozer
+ Look not back on yesterday
So full of failure and regret;
Look ahead and seek God's way --
All sin confessed you must forget.
-- Dennis DeHaan
+ If this is to be a Happy New Year, a year of usefulness, a year in which we shall live to make this earth better, it is because God will direct our pathway. How important then, to feel our dependence upon Him! -- Matthew Simpson
+ As we grow older in life, years somehow seem to shorten and New Year's Day approaches with an ever increasing tempo. The more mature we get, the more we realize that time is only relative; how we live means more than how long we live. Haply also we do not live by years, but by days. In His wisdom God does not show us all that lies ahead. So we enter a new year to live it day by day. What is past is past. Today we start anew, and what we do today will make our life for tomorrow. Chin up, shoulders straight, eyes agleam, let us salute the New Year, and each day let us follow more faithfully, more courageously, more daringly the lead of our great Captain who bids us follow Him. -- William Thomson Hanzsche
+ Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will. -- Jonathan Edwards
+ The object of a New Year is not that we shou ld have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective. Unless a man starts on the strange assumption that he has never existed before, it is quite certain that he will never exist afterwards. Unless a man be born again, he shall by no means enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. -- Gilbert Keith G. K. Chesterton
+ No matter what the ruin of any life may be there is always a place to start. There is a place where you must begin. You need to apologize to someone. You need to go to somebody and straighten something out. You need to stop some practice that is wrong. You need to open yourself up to counsel. You need to seek advice. You need to get some guidance. There is always a first step. That is where you must begin.
And whatever you pray, pray that God will give you the grace, the strength and the determination to take that step. Then, the process of recovery has begun. -- Ray C. Stedman
+ The New Year is a time to learn to rely more heavily on the grace of God. Now I've met a few self-made men and women and so have you, but so often these people seem proud, self-centred and driven. There is another way: beginning to trust in God's help. One secret from the Apostle Paul: "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength," he said. (Phil 4:13) And God's strength saw him through pain, joy, and accomplishment. -- Anonymous
+ If you're running a 26-mile marathon, remember that every mile is run one step at a time. If you are writing a book, do it one page at a time. If you're trying to master a new language, try it one word at a time. There are 365 days in the average year. Divide any project by 365 and you'll find that no job is all that intimidating. -- Charles (Chuck) Swindoll

A New Year's Prayer May God make your year a happy one!
Not by shielding you from all sorrows and pain,
But by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes;
Not by making your path easy,
But by making you sturdy to travel any path;
Not by taking hardships from you,
But by taking fear from your heart;
Not by granting you unbroken sunshine,
But by keeping your face bright, even in the shadows;
Not by making your life always pleasant,
But by showing you when people and their causes need you most,
and by making you anxious to be there to help.
God's love, peace, hope and joy to you for the year ahead.
-- Anonymous
+ Renewal is rooted in faith, not in resolutions! They are made for New Year's and forgotten on an average of thirteen days later, say the surveys. Faith is the result of a decision about Christ. I cannot make a new me or a new you, but Christ can make you new and me new, as well, if we decide for Him. -- Frank Harrington
+ I'm part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of His. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.
My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I'm finished with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colourless dreams tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living, and dwarfed goals.,
I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labour by power.
My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way rough, my companions few, my guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I won't give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, preached up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me. And when He comes for His own, He will have no problems recognizing me - my banner will be clear! -- Anonymous
+ I pray that the Lord might crown this year with His goodness and in the coming one give you a hallowed dare-devil spirit in lifting the biting sword of Truth, consuming you with a passion that is called by the cultured citizen of Christendom 'fanaticism', but known to God as that saint ly madness that led His Son through bloody sweat and hot tears to agony on a rude Cross---and Glory! -- Jim Elliot
+ If you want to do something good, do it; and if you cannot do it, then resolve to do it, and you will have achieved the resolution even if you do not fulfill the action itself. Thus a habit, whether good or bad, can gradually and spontaneously be overcome. If this were not the case, no criminals would ever be saved, whereas in fact not only have they been saved, but many have become conspicuous for their excellence. Think what a great gulf separates the criminal from the saint ; yet resolution finally overcame habit. -- Peter of Damascus
+ Many times we are content with sitting on the sidelines, always hearing about other's lives being changed in huge ways and God being so important in their life. We go to church and hear people talk about what God has been doing in their life. We go to events and conferences that we hope will microwave our Christian maturity to well done. We read books on how other's lives were changed. And that is good enough for us, but deep down inside, we wish we could have that happen in our own life. So we make promises to try harder. We recommit our lives to Jesus. We might begin having devotions more often. But, after a while, the desire dies off and the excitement has turned into duty and we give up. Obedience makes the difference in a life that is sold out for God. It is seeing what God does with our attitude of following what He has in the Bible that brings about change in our hearts and a Christian walk that is on fire. -- Zach Conrad
+ Good habits are not made on birthdays, nor Christian character at the New Year. The workshop of character is everyday life. The uneventful and commonplace hour is where the battle is lost or won. -- Maltbie Davenport (Mattie D) Babcock
+ We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day. -- Edith Lovejoy Pierce
+ We must bear in mind that mere resolutions to take more time for prayer and to conquer reluctance to pray will not prove lastingly effective unless there is a whole hearted and absolute surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ. -- Anonymous
+ We should take advantage of His faithfulness and make every day a fresh start. Resolve to make each day the beginning of a new year, a new morning, a new adventure. He wipes the slate clean and goes back to zero so we can be filled up again with His spirit and give it out all day long. Enjoy the blessings of a new year, in Christ, one day at a time! -- Debbie Carroccio
God Bless + and + Happy New Year
